The main ingredient of Nutella is Sugar, compared to peanut butter, whose main ingredient is roasted peanuts, with sugar being the next ingredient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both spreads contain oil which in Nutella is palm oil, which is often the same case for peanut butter, although some brands use other kinds of vegetable oil. The nuts in Nutella are hazelnuts, and it also has added milk products and cocoa powder, neither of which are found in peanut butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Peanut butter is a much simpler product when it comes to ingredients, although in most cases, it has added salt for flavor, which Nutella does not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The table below shows the actual ingredients of Nutella brand spread, whereas the peanut butter ingredients are typical of most brands, but they can vary slightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Nutella

id=\"nutrition\">Nutella Vs.Peanut Butter Nutritional Comparison<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving onto the nutritional comparison, and to confirm, I&rsquo;m comparing Nutella Chocolate Hazelnut Spread against generic peanut butter using data from the UDSA FoodData Central.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The comparison will be weight-for-weight based on 100g of each product and an individual serving of 15g, which is around a tablespoon of spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"calories\">Best for Calorie Content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Weight-for-weight Nutella and peanut butter are both high-calorie products, thanks to the nuts, oil, and sugar they contain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the two, peanut butter is typically higher in calories than Nutella, and it contains 9kcal more per 15g of spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Spread Type<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Calories Per 100g<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Calories Per 15g Serving<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Nutella

Carbohydrate Content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There&rsquo;s a big difference between the carbohydrate content of Nutella compared to peanut butter with peanut butter containing 3.3g of carbs per 15g compared to Nutella, which contains nearly three times the amount of carbs per serving at 9.4g.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong><strong>Spread<\/strong> Type<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Carbohydrates Per 100g<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Carbohydrates Per

Peanut butter per serving with 8g per 15g compared to peanut butter which contains 1.6g.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that Nutella is over 50% sugar per serving, so of the two in this category, peanut butter is the better option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong><strong>Spread<\/strong> Type<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Sugars Per

Content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Peanut butter also comes out best for protein content because it contains 2.6g more protein per 15g serving than Nutella.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table

looks like Nutella is the clear winner; however, when you dig deeper into the types of fat, things aren&rsquo;t that simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The majority of the fat in Nutella is saturated fat, compared to peanut butter fat which is mainly made up of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat, which are deemed as healthier fats that can actually lower cholesterol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So based on the saturated fat content of each product, peanut butter is the better option of the two, although both are high in fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><strong>Per 100g<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure

have added salt, although there are some reduced-salt alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When comparing salt content between Nutella and peanut butter, Nutella is much lower in sodium per
