About
Peanut butter is a dense, ground nut spread weighing about 9.3 ounces (263 grams) per cup.
Peanut butter has a density of about 9.3 pounds per gallon (1.11 grams per milliliter), which makes it roughly 11 percent denser than water. Because the peanuts are ground into a paste, it packs much more mass into the same space than whole nuts. A standard 16-ounce (454-gram) jar holds roughly 1.7 US cups (409 milliliters) of spread. This puts its weight and volume very close to other spreads, such as almond butter and cashew butter.
From Wikipedia
Peanut butter is a food paste or spread made from ground, dry-roasted peanuts. It commonly contains additional ingredients that modify the taste or texture, such as salt, sweeteners, or emulsifiers.
