About Peanut

Peanuts are nutrient-dense legumes native to South America, revered in cuisines worldwide. Packed with protein, healthy fats, fiber, and essential vitamins like vitamin E and B-complex, peanuts support heart health and energy production. They are rich in minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and zinc, which promote bone health, nerve function, and immune strength. Peanuts also contain antioxidants like resveratrol and phytosterols, contributing to overall wellness. In culinary use, peanuts appear in snacks, sauces, desserts, and savory dishes across cultures, such as peanut butter in Western diets or peanut-based satays in Southeast Asian cuisine. While their unsaturated fats are beneficial, moderation is key due to their calorie density. People with peanut allergies should avoid them entirely, as allergic reactions can be severe. When consumed mindfully, peanuts offer a versatile, flavorful, and healthful addition to a balanced diet.
