From Africa to Australia: How Peanut Butter is Eaten Around the World

From Africa to Australia: How Peanut Butter is Eaten Around the World

A Global Story, Brought Home by Pure Farms – India’s Clean-Label Peanut Butter Brand

Ever wondered how something as familiar as peanut butter is savoured across the globe?
From rich African stews to Thai street sauces, Dutch fries to Aussie breakfast toast — peanut butter wears many identities depending on where you are.

At Pure Farms, we’re proudly made in India, but our love for peanut butter has no borders. We’ve taken inspiration from the world and brought it home — in flavors you’ll love, with ingredients you can trust.

Let’s take you on a flavour-packed journey and see how the world spreads, stirs, dips, and devours peanut butter.

West Africa – Peanut Butter as a Hearty Stew

In West Africa, peanut butter isn’t a condiment — it’s the foundation of comfort food.

Popular dishes like Maafe (Senegal) and Nkatenkwan (Ghana) are rich stews made with tomato, onion, chili, and groundnuts, often served with fufu or steamed rice.

✨ Here, peanut butter is:

  • Earthy, unsweetened, and protein-rich
  • Stirred into stews, not spread on toast
  • A symbol of tradition, family, and nourishment

Peanut butter, in West Africa, is where taste meets heritage.

United States – Childhood Classic Meets Craft Culture

In the U.S., peanut butter is nostalgic — a childhood essential. But in recent years, it has evolved into a gourmet pantry star.

From the good old PB&J to smoothie bowls and desserts, Americans are pushing flavor boundaries with:

  • Cinnamon-raisin swirl
  • Maple crunch
  • Dark chocolate-infused spreads

🎯 Where Pure Farms fits in:
Our Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter brings the same indulgence, minus the additives — a clean-label nod to America’s evolving peanut butter scene.

Thailand – Savoury Satay Sauce with a Nutty Twist

In Thailand, peanut butter isn’t a breakfast food — it’s a signature sauce.

Street vendors serve satay with a creamy, spicy peanut sauce made from:

  • Coconut milk
  • Palm sugar
  • Red curry paste
  • Roasted peanuts or smooth peanut butter

It’s used to drizzle over noodles, grilled meats, tofu wraps — even salads.

This is peanut butter with a kick — bold, balanced, and addictive.

Netherlands – Pindakaas & Fries: Dutch Comfort in Every Bite

The Dutch love their pindakaas (literally “peanut cheese”). It’s a staple on rye bread, and — unexpectedly — a topping for fries.

  • Pindakaas + honey = breakfast
  • Fries + satay sauce + mayo + onions = “Patat Oorlog” (War Fries)

🔁 Why this matters to us:
The Dutch obsession with texture is why Pure Farms Crunchy Peanut Butter is made with roasted peanut chunks that deliver a satisfying bite — without any preservatives or fillers.

Australia – Crunchy Toast & Clean Labels

Australians are vocal about their peanut butter preferences — and crunchy wins every time.

Paired with:

  • Toast + honey
  • Toast + banana
  • (Or sometimes Vegemite — yes, really)

With rising awareness around clean eating, Australians now choose brands with no palm oil or additives.

✅ Where we connect:
That’s exactly what Pure Farms stands for:

  • Just peanuts.
  • Just real flavor.
  • Just better choices.

India – Where Peanut Butter Is Writing a New Story

India has always had a love for peanuts — from groundnut oil to chikki, and spicy peanut chutneys. But peanut butter? It’s a modern favorite — and Pure Farms is proudly leading the wave.

In urban homes, college hostels, and health-focused households, peanut butter is now:

  • A pre-gym protein booster
  • A tiffin-time lifesaver
  • A new-gen breakfast essential

💛 Our flavors are crafted for Indian taste buds:

At Pure Farms, we’re not just making peanut butter.
We’re making peanut butter that feels like home — with a global soul.

🌐 One Spread. Infinite Stories.

From stews in Africa to smoothies in the U.S., from noodles in Thailand to school lunches in India, peanut butter is proof that food can connect cultures and still speak to individual taste.

And with every jar of Pure Farms, we’re adding to that story — blending global inspiration with Indian goodness.
