The Flavor Feed: Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is having a moment, and as Monin’s Flavor of the Month, it’s easy to see why.
Deeply nostalgic yet surprisingly sophisticated, this flavor works across cocktails, coffee, and even wellness menus. Monin’s Peanut Butter delivers that rich, craveable taste in a completely allergen-free format, making it an easy win for any program. With 79% of consumers loving or liking the flavor, peanut butter is one of the safest and most versatile additions to any menu right now.
Peanut butter’s roots trace back to ancient civilizations like the Incas, who ground peanuts into a paste. Its modern form emerged in the late 1800s as a health food before becoming the pantry staple we know today, enjoyed by both kids and adults.
