How Many Peanuts Make a Jar of Peanut Butter?

It takes roughly 540 peanuts to make a jar of peanut butter.

That’s a whole lot of crunch packed into one creamy container! If you lined up those peanuts end to end, they’d stretch about 45 feet — longer than a school bus.

Once harvested, peanuts go through roasting, cooling, and grinding. During grinding, the natural oils are released, creating that smooth, spreadable magic we all know and love. Add a pinch of salt, maybe a little sugar, and voilà: peanut butter perfection.
