Description

Peanuts are an especially good source of healthful fats, protein, and fiber. They also contain plenty of potassium, phosphorous, magnesium, and B vitamin. Despite being high in calories, peanuts are nutrient-rich and low in carbohydrates
Protein is essential for building and repairing body cells. The amount of protein a person needs varies, depending on their age and activity level.
Fatty acids are an essential part of every diet. Most of the fats in peanuts are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are a healthful type of fat.
Fiber is a heart-healthful nutrient. The AHA report that eating fiber-rich foods improves blood cholesterol levels and lowers the risk of heart disease, stroke, obesity and type 2 of diabetes.
