    Default What is peanut butter?

    A solid or a liquid?

    I dont know why i was thinking about this today but is peanut butter a solid or a liquid.

    I asked different people and some told me solid and some told me liquid. everyone had there reasons which made sense so it didnt help much.

    What you think?

    A definite shape does not have to be a cylinder, cube, cone or etc.

    Well it is "techniqually" a colloid, due to the fact that peanut butter on a microscopic level is solids suspended in a liquid it is more on the solid side.

    No it's more of a solid than a liquid but because of it's atomic make up it is a colloid.

    you can't pour it so it not a liquid is what I think of.
    When it's heated up it may become liquid, but at room temp it is solidified.

    *edit/ just found this. Your question is so 2 years ago.

    Only the saturated fats will really become liquids.

    I didn't post it to say "here this helps!" Sorry for misleading, I just though it was funny the same question has been asked and (un)answered with the same sort of responses you seem to be getting.
