Peanuts

Peanuts pack a serious nutritional punch and offer a variety of health benefits. They are rich in monounsaturated fats, the type of fat that is emphasized in heart-healthy diets. In addition to their monounsaturated fat content, peanuts feature an array of nutrients. Among some of the many benefits are vitamin E, niacin, folate, protein, and manganese. Not only do peanuts contain oleic acid, the healthful fat found in olive oil, but new records show these tasty legumes are also rich in antioxidants as are many fruits.

Enjoy peanuts as a snack or in peanut butter or use in your daily cooking and baking.
