About Peanut
A common nut-bean snack, high in both protein and fat.
Health Benefits of Peanut
Protein champion among nuts
Peanuts deliver 24.8g protein per 100g, the highest of common nuts. They're actually legumes; their protein pairs well with grains for amino-acid complementarity, making them an economical plant-protein source.
Contains resveratrol
Peanuts contain resveratrol and polyphenol antioxidants, more concentrated in the red skin. Moderate peanut intake supports cardiovascular health; several population studies link weekly nut intake to lower heart-disease risk.
Boiled beats fried
Boiled and dry-roasted peanuts have fewer calories than fried or sugar-coated ones: 100g boiled is about 400 kcal, while fried/honey-coated can top 600. Choose plain, lightly processed, and eat a small handful (~20-30g) a day.
