Introduction: Peanuts are indeed very common, but many people think that peanuts contain too much fat and usually eat less. In fact, peanuts have high nutritional value. If you know how to keep healthy, you will know that peanuts are very healthy food.

Nutritional value of peanuts

The protein content of peanuts is 25%-30%. Peanut protein contains eight essential amino acids, arginine content is higher than other nuts, and its biological potency is higher than that of soybean. Eating a certain amount of peanuts, peanut oil or peanut products every day can not only provide a lot of protein, fat and energy, but also reduce the intake of saturated fat and increase the intake of unsaturated fatty acids, which greatly promotes the intake of healthy nutrients such as protein, dietary fiber, vitamin E, folic acid, potassium, magnesium, zinc and calcium.

Peanut itself is a high-energy, high-protein and high-fat plant food, which contains no cholesterol and trans fatty acids, but is rich in micronutrients, phytosterols, resveratrol, isoflavones, antioxidants and other substances. It has an important health care function, is an excellent substitute for milk and meat food, and plays an important role in balancing diet and improving the nutritional and health status of Chinese residents.

Edible method

Peanuts can be eaten raw, fried, fried and boiled. Peanuts are everywhere, from delicious to side dishes and wine. Among many ways to eat, stew is the best. Frying, frying or directly frying with fire will do great damage to the rich nutrients such as vitamin E in peanuts. In addition, peanut itself contains a lot of vegetable oil, which will turn the sweetness of peanut into dryness and heat when encountering high fever. Those who eat too much, eat for a long time or are weak easily get angry. Therefore, from the comprehensive evaluation of health care and taste, it is best to boil with water. It has the characteristics of tepid, moist taste and digestible rotten mouth, and is suitable for all ages. If you add some Chinese medicines properly, you can cook them together and bring out the best in each other.

Key points of storage

First, peanuts should be fully dried before storage to reduce the water content of peanuts to below 8%. According to the experiment, when the water content of peanuts is lower than 8%, the storage is very safe, and even at -25℃, the germination ability will not be affected. When the water content of peanuts is higher than 10%, the respiration is enhanced, and a large amount of heat energy is released, which is easy to make peanuts moldy, deteriorated and insects.

The second is to improve the cleanliness of peanuts and remove impurities, immature fruits, diseased fruits and broken pods.

Third, the storage site should be strictly disinfected and moisture-proof, and the warehouse should be ventilated and dry.

Fourth, it is best to use woven bags, sacks, etc. as storage utensils, and avoid using airtight plastic bags for storage. Storing peanuts in plastic bags easily leads to air circulation, anaerobic respiration of peanuts and seed poisoning. At the same time, the moisture and heat generated by breathing are not easy to dissipate, which makes peanuts hot and moldy.

Fifth, peanuts can't be put in the same warehouse as pesticides and fertilizers. Many pesticides and fertilizers are volatile and corrosive, which will damage the cells and embryos of peanuts over time.

Sixth, in the storage process, we should pay attention to regular inspection to see whether peanuts are affected with damp, moth and rat, and whether the germination potential and germination rate of peanuts are reduced. If problems are found, they should be dealt with in time to ensure the safe storage of peanuts.

The following five kinds of people should remember not to eat peanuts.

Cholecystectomy: The fat contained in peanuts needs bile to digest. After cholecystectomy, the function of storing bile is lost. If such patients eat peanuts without a lot of bile to help digestion, they will often cause indigestion.

Indigestion: Peanut contains a lot of fat, and people with spleen and stomach dysfunction such as enteritis and dysentery will aggravate their illness.

Patients with hyperlipidemia: peanuts contain a lot of fat. After the patients with hyperlipidemia eat peanuts, the blood lipid level will increase, and the increase of lipid is often one of the important causes of arteriosclerosis, hypertension, coronary heart disease and other diseases.

Abrasions and bruises: peanuts contain a procoagulant factor. After eating peanuts, people with traumatic injuries and blood stasis may cause blood stasis and aggravate the symptoms of swelling and pain.

Indigestion: Peanut contains a lot of fat and is not easy to digest. People with indigestion should eat less.
