Gutta Mundi (natural grain food advocate) Answer:

Peanuts belong to the Leguminosae family as far as botanical species are concerned, but we all think of them as nuts, and it's no wonder that peanuts are very similar in taste characteristics and nutritional value characteristics to greasy nuts.

Calories: Peanuts are very high in calories, 589 calories/100g, not to mention fried peanuts, fried peanuts eaten too much is also easy to excess energy.

Protein: 24.8% protein content, in all kinds of nuts in the top, properly high protein food.

Fat: peanut fat content is high, but is mainly unsaturated fatty acids, 50g in only about 8g is saturated fatty acids, which is good; however, peanut unsaturated fatty acids, omega-6 fatty acid content is very high, omega-3 system of fat content can be almost negligible.

If you use a lot of linoleic acid-rich cooking oils on a regular basis, and you love meat, then walnuts are recommended over peanuts.

Carbohydrates: peanuts have a low percentage of carbohydrate content, coupled with rich protein and dietary fiber, making its degree of carbohydrate digestion and absorption is very low and slow, belonging to the typical low GI (i.e., low glycemic index) of the food.

Vitamins and minerals: Peanuts are rich in vitamins such as vitamin B1, vitamin E, niacin, and minerals such as potassium, magnesium and manganese.

Many people are interested in the health effects of peanut shells, then I'll say a little more: the composition of peanut skins, mainly dietary fiber, protein, fat, and proanthocyanidins and other antioxidants such as polyphenols (the darker the color, the richer the proanthocyanidin content).

The above is answered by Gutta Mundi (a natural grain food advocate), and I hope it helps.
