About African peanuts
African peanuts, often referred to as groundnuts, are a staple ingredient in various African cuisines, celebrated for their earthy taste and versatility. Native to tropical and subtropical regions, they are commonly used in soups, sauces, snacks, and beverages. Packed with nutrients, African peanuts are an excellent source of protein, healthy fats, vitamins like B3 and E, and minerals such as magnesium and phosphorus. Their high monounsaturated fat content supports heart health, while their fiber aids digestion and promotes satiety. However, they can be calorie-dense, so portion control is key when consumed as part of a balanced diet. The peanuts are also a base for nutrient-rich peanut butter or oils frequently featured in African dishes like peanut stew. Whether roasted, boiled, or blended, African peanuts bring both flavor and nutrition to the table, but moderation is advised to avoid excessive calorie or fat intake.
