Summary
This peanut butter spread contains dry roasted peanuts, which are a good source of protein and healthy fats, and sea salt, which provides trace minerals. However, the inclusion of refined sugar and palm oil increases the level of processing and adds unnecessary calories without nutritional benefits. The product's processing level limits its score, as it is not as clean as minimally processed alternatives.
