Powder vs. Paste: The Rising Demand for Defatted Peanut Butter Powder

9/7/20211 min read

If you look at the sports nutrition market in 2026, one trend is undeniable: consumers are obsessed with Macros(Macronutrients). They want high protein and low fat.

This shift has created a massive surge in demand for Defatted Peanut Butter Powder, a product that was once niche but is now essential for any serious health food catalog.

The Science: How it Works Peanut Butter Powder isn't just crushed peanuts. It is made by slow-roasting peanuts and then pressing them to remove approximately 85% of the oil (fat).
