Abstract

The present invention relates to a reduced calorie peanut butter wherein the oil phase comprises triglycerides containing at least about 10% by weight medium chain fatty acids. Preferably, medium chain triglycerides are used in the oil phase. It has been found that use of these triglycerides allows the desired peanut butter consistency to be maintained at lower levels of total oil.
