There are two kinds of people in this world: those who like a bit a crunch between their bread and folks who like to keep things nice and smooth. But when it comes to the health benefits of peanut butter, does one spread trump the other? The short answer: Yes, but not enough that it should really impact your buying decision.

Creamy peanut butter has a touch more protein, but crunchy PB has more folate and fiber, a nutrient that helps maintain bowel health. At the end of the day, though, their nutrient profiles are pretty darn close. Unless you’re strictly watching your saturated fat intake (there’s more of the nutrient in creamy peanut butter) there’s no reason you shouldn’t just choose the spread you enjoy the most.
