About Groundnut sauce

Groundnut Sauce, also known as peanut sauce, is a creamy and flavorful condiment made primarily from ground peanuts. It often includes ingredients like garlic, ginger, onions, tomatoes, chili peppers, and spices, though variations exist depending on the cuisine. This sauce is a staple in West African cooking, particularly in countries like Ghana and Nigeria, and is also popular in Southeast Asian dishes. Groundnuts are a rich source of healthy fats, protein, and essential vitamins such as vitamin E and magnesium, making the sauce a nourishing addition to meals. However, its nutritional profile can vary based on preparation—recipes with excessive oil or sugar may raise calorie content. Groundnut Sauce pairs well with vegetables, meats, or rice, offering a balanced blend of flavor and nutrition in moderation.
