Cacahuetes, or peanuts, are nutrient-dense legumes native to South America, widely enjoyed in cuisines around the world. Rich in protein, heart-healthy fats, and essential vitamins such as niacin, folate, and vitamin E, cacahuetes are an excellent snack or ingredient for balanced diets. They contain minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium, which are vital for bone health and muscle function. Peanuts also provide antioxidants, including resveratrol, which may support overall health. Their high monounsaturated fat content makes them beneficial for cardiovascular health when consumed in moderation. However, they are calorie-dense and can contribute to weight gain when overeaten. Salted or flavored varieties may add excessive sodium or sugar. Peanuts hold a prominent place in many cuisines, appearing in dishes such as Southeast Asian satay sauces, African groundnut stews, and as a snack in roasted or boiled forms. Versatile and satisfying, cacahuetes offer both nutrition and flavor.
