Peanut contains 25% ~ 35% protein, mainly water-soluble protein and salt-soluble protein. Water-soluble protein, also known as whey protein, accounts for about 10% of peanut protein, and salt-soluble protein accounts for 90% of peanut protein. Salt-soluble proteins mainly include peanut globulin and concomitant peanut globulin. Peanut globulin is a dimer composed of two subunits, and concomitant peanut globulin is composed of 6 to 7 subunits.

There is little nutritional difference between peanut protein and animal protein, and it contains no cholesterol. The biological value of peanut protein is 58, and the protein titer is 1.7, which is second only to soybean protein in plant protein.
