Peanut is rich in glutamic acid, unsaturated fatty acids, methionine and aspartic acid, which can enhance memory. It also contains more than 20 kinds of trace elements, such as riboflavin, choline, VA, VB, VE, VK and calcium. Children can promote the development of brain cells, have strong nourishing and health care effects on middle-aged and elderly people, and especially can prevent Alzheimer's disease. What is more valuable is that its kernel, skin, shell, leaves, stems and oil can be used as medicine, which can be described as a treasure all over the body.
Therefore, raw peanuts can not only prevent chapped lips, polydipsia, hoarseness, oral erosion, constipation, hemorrhoids, anal fissure, bloating, hyperacidity and malnutrition, but also prevent vitamin deficiency such as angular stomatitis, dry eye, hyperosteogeny, wet scabies, dermatitis and beriberi.
Precautions for eating peanuts:
There are many ways to eat peanuts. The common ways to eat peanuts are "raw, fried, fried and boiled".
From the nutritional point of view, frying is not desirable at first; Raw food is also not desirable, because peanuts will be infected with aflatoxin during their growth. Aflatoxin is recognized as the strongest carcinogen, which will be deposited in the liver and induce liver cancer.
Because aflatoxin is water-soluble, if boiled, it can basically filter out aflatoxin, so eating cooked peanuts is safer and easier to digest, and the loss of nutrients is minimal. If fried, aflatoxin cannot be destroyed, so cooking is the best.
There is another problem when eating, which is about the red color of peanuts. Red clothes have the function of enriching blood and promoting blood coagulation, which is very good for anemic people and wound healing. Conversely, on the other hand, for people with high blood viscosity, there is no benefit, but it will increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, people with high blood viscosity should not eat peanut red. It is best for the elderly not to eat either, to avoid blood viscosity.
