Peanut butter and hummus are the same thing. (lemmy.world)

Both are pastes made of mashed beans (peanuts and chickpeas are beans.) They also have a similar nutrient profile and are both used for similar dishes.

I literally never bought pb that isn't 100% peanuts. Sometimes with a bit of salt. Stop buying junk.

It's not automatically "junk", it's flavored.

It just happens to be the most popular flavor in the U.S.

I like my spicy red pepper hummus, other people like their extra-oil-and-sugar smooth consistency non-separating peanut butter.

It's like the difference between corn flakes and frosted flakes.

Junk, as in, junk food. Unhealthy. I also buy salted caramel pb sometimes just for fun. But you shouldn't make that part of your regular breakfast...
