Peanuts and peanut butter
are part and parcel of growing up as an American kid. Luckily,
peanut butter already happens to be one of American children's
most favored foods. Peanuts and peanut butter are both nutrient
dense foods and can play an important role in a well-balanced
diet.
Much of the 7 million tons
of peanut butter consumed in America already goes into the
American kids' systems. The National Peanut Board estimates
that the average child will eat 1,500 peanut butter and
jelly sandwiches before completing high school.
To build on the affinity
the children have for peanuts and peanut butter, you might
try one of the following:
- Use a simple satay
sauce as a dip for fried fish sticks or chicken nuggets.
You may wish to tone down the spices in the recipe
- Use Roasted
Peanut Salsa in tacos and quesadilla preparations
- Use Peanut
Sauce with Noodles substituting spaghetti
- You may even want to use the words
“peanut butter” in writing kids’ menus
where applicable
