April 28, 2023HealthAlzheimer’sGallstonesNutritional DietNutsPeanut allergy

Peanuts are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and many key vitamins and minerals. Peanuts come in many forms, including roasted, salted, chocolate-coated, and as peanut butter. Different types have different nutritional profiles and various health benefits.
The peanut botanical name is Arachis hypogaea which belongs to the  family Fabaceae. These are also known as the groundnut, goober, pindar or monkey nut.
Despite their name, peanuts are unrelated to tree nuts. As a legume, they’re related to beans, lentils, and soy.

Nutritional Value –
Peanuts are an especially good source of healthful fats, protein, and fiber.While these may have a large amount of fat, most of the fats they contain are known as “good fats.” These kinds of fats actually help lower your cholesterol levels. They also contain plenty of potassium, phosphorous, magnesium, and B vitamins. Despite being high in calories, these are nutrient-rich and low in carbohydrates.

How to use Peanuts?
Peanuts can be eaten raw, blanched, roasted, boiled, fried, powdered, or made into peanut butter. Eating them with their thin, papery skin is most nutritionally beneficial, as the skin contains the many antioxidants and phytochemicals. Adding more peanuts to your diet is easy enough to do, whether with peanuts or peanut butter.

Here are some ways to use these nuts in a variety of dishes –
•  Bake them into cookies or pies. 
•  Make a peanut butter and banana sandwich.
•  Top your yogurt with these nuts.
•  Toss them in a salad.
•  Add peanuts to your stir fry or noodles dish.

Benefits –

Peanut consumption may cut the risk of gallstones in both men and women. As most gallstones are largely composed of cholesterol, the cholesterol-lowering effect of these nuts may be the cause of this effect.
