In the beginning

Glór Peanut butter began in Zambia Central Africa, where girls from Petauke village introduced Oliver Heffernan to the art of blending and roasting locally grown peanuts to produce what is now Glór Peanut butter.

The process though manually very demanding remains the same, peanuts are first roasted in small quantities until rich and golden in colour then still hot from the oven the nuts are crushed and the husk removed . The remaining nuts are then blended with nothing but a little salt and nut oil to produce the highly textured succulent peanut butter which is Glór.

Glór Peanut butter is just as the label suggests : Dairy Free and Gluten Free.

The Benefits of Glór Peanutbutter

Spotlight On Folic Acid: One ounce roasted peanuts provides 10% (41 micrograms) of daily value of folate, the naturally occurring form of the B vitamin folic acid, recommended for the reduction of birth defects and lowered heart disease risk.
Heart Disease: There is growing evidence that suggests eating at least 400 micrograms of folic acid/ folate per day will lower the risk of heart disease. Folic acid/folate works with Vitamin B6 and B12 to remove homocysteine--an amino acid-- from the body.
Lower Blood Pressure: The first study to show a link between diet and high blood pressure, published in the April issue of the new England journal of Medicine, recommends eating 4 to 5 times per week.
Protect Against Breast Cancer: Monosaturated. fat can cut in half a woman's risk of breast cancer, peanut oil has 6.3g of monounsaturated fat (4.3g polyunsaturated) compared to 10g monounsaturated (1.1g polyunsaturated) in olive oil.
Decrease Diabetes Risk in Women: Eating Low Glycemic Index Foods such as Peanut Butter Decreases Diabetes risk in Woman Eating Low Glycaemic index foods such as peanut butter, yogurt, beans and broccoli along with a diet high in cereal fibre can significantly reduce the risk of non-insulin-dependent diabetes in woman, according to new Harvard School of public Health study recently published in the journal of the American Medical Association.
Peanut Butter Is Good For You: Peanut butter is nutritious as well as delicious! Peanut butter is a good source of protein, vitamin E, niacin, phosphorus and magnesium. A peanut butter and jam/honey sandwich provides 18% of the daily folic acid intake recommended to help reduce birth defects and heart disease. Peanut butter, like most food contains some fat. Fortunately 80% of the fat is not saturated fat– “the good fat”–which may actually help lower LDL – cholesterol levels in your blood. In fact, because peanut butter is so versatile, good tasting and nutritious, it is included in many medically endorsed weight loss and diabetic diets.
