Kissan Crunchy Peanut Butter
Published
Kissan Crunchy Peanut Butter is a peanut-led spread with a little sugar, salt and hydrogenated oil added. It scores CA4: middling on nutrition despite plenty of protein and fibre, strong on ingredients for a short, peanut-heavy list, and high on risk because it is dense in calories and saturated fat. Best in a thin spread now and then, measured by the spoon.

What to know about Kissan Crunchy Peanut Butter
91% peanuts, but 184 kcal in two spoons
Kissan Crunchy Peanut Butter is a 350 g jar of roasted peanuts (91%) ground with sugar, hydrogenated rapeseed oil and iodised salt. The oil is there to stop the peanut oil separating. It is bought as a bread spread, a breakfast add-on and an easy protein top-up, and the pack says it contains peanuts.
A 30 g serve, two tablespoons, gives 184 kcal, 7.7 g protein, 2.6 g fibre and 2.8 g saturated fat. Per 100 g the jar has 25.7 g protein, 8.6 g fibre, 6.3 g added sugar and 253 mg sodium. The price of that protein is calories: 612 kcal per 100 g, most of it from 49.5 g fat.
The front says 100% real peanuts, and the list shows peanuts at 91%, with sugar, oil and salt making up the rest. The hydrogenated oil carries no partly or fully qualifier on the label, though trans fat is declared at just 0.01 g. CleanPlate scores it CA4.
Why Kissan Crunchy Peanut Butter scores CA4
Nutrition is a C: 25.7 g protein and 8.6 g fibre per 100 g, but no vitamins or minerals declared. Ingredients are an A on a peanut-led list. Risk is a 4, driven by 612 kcal and 9.3 g saturated fat per 100 g.
Adequate nutrient density
- Protein
- 25.7 g
- Fibre
- 8.6 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 612 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 25.7 g per 100 g and fibre 8.6 g. In a 30 g serve that is 7.7 g protein and 2.6 g fibre, and nearly all the protein comes from the peanuts.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so the grade rests on protein and fibre alone, and nothing else adds to it. Fat is 49.5 g per 100 g, so the spread is calorie-dense.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why A
The list is short and led by roasted peanuts at 91%, followed by sugar, hydrogenated rapeseed oil and iodised salt. No additive of concern, colour, flavour or preservative is listed, and no label promise is hollow, which keeps this grade at the top.
The hydrogenated rapeseed oil has no partly or fully qualifier, so it is treated as a partly hydrogenated oil until the maker says otherwise. It is a small part of the jar, and trans fat is declared at 0.01 g per 100 g. Sugar and the oil have no percentage declared.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

- Added sugar
- 6.3 g
- Sodium

- Saturated fat
- 9.3 g
- Trans fat
- 0.01 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Energy is the biggest part of the risk number: 612 kcal per 100 g, 184 kcal per 30 g serve. Saturated fat comes next at 9.3 g per 100 g, nearly twice the 5 g high line, or 2.8 g per serve.
Sodium is 253 mg per 100 g, about 76 mg per serve, and added sugar is 6.3 g per 100 g, about 1.9 g per serve. Both are modest contributors. Together the risk lands on a 4.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Peanut butter works in a satay sauce, on oats, in a banana smoothie or in a protein-rich dip. Measure it by the tablespoon, since each 30 g serve is 184 kcal.
Peanut butter on wholegrain toast
Spread one 30 g serve for 7.7 g protein and 2.6 g fibre, and keep it to a thin layer.
Banana peanut smoothie
Blend one tablespoon, about 15 g, with banana and milk or curd, for roughly 92 kcal from the spread.
Quick satay sauce
Warm two tablespoons with lime, soy sauce and a little water to thin it, then share it across the dish, so each person gets less than a full serve.
