Peanuts (also known as groundnuts or groundnuts) are dry-roasted with hot air without the use of oil and are rich in high-quality plant protein, fiber, and healthy fats. They are great in sauces for meat, in salads, or just in your mouth.
Properties and benefits: Peanuts, or groundnuts, are actually legumes and are related to beans, lentils and soybeans, although we classify them as nuts. They originate in South America. In addition to being often roasted and salted, peanuts are also used to make peanut butter, oil (it is very popular because it can be roasted at very high temperatures), vegetable protein or flour. Peanuts are generally very rich in protein, fiber, healthy fats and contain many important nutrients. Peanuts have a relatively low carbohydrate ratio and also a low glycemic index (GI), which is a measure of how quickly the body uses glucose from a certain food. As for vitamins and minerals, you will be pleasantly surprised, peanuts are a source of biotin (vitamin B7), niacin (B3), thiamine (B1), folic acid (B9), vitamin E, magnesium, copper, manganese and phosphorus.
Uses: You can enjoy dry roasted peanuts as is or add them to your own fruit and nut mix. We recommend adding peanuts to desserts, grinding them to a buttery consistency and making your own peanut butter, or using them in baking and sauces.
