The ground nut is particularly valued for its protein contents, which is of high biological value. Kg. for Kg., groundnuts contain more protein than meat-about two and a half times more than eggs, and far more than any other vegetable food except soyabean and yeast. The proteins in groundnut are well balanced, except for slight deficiency in some of the essential amino acids. As it happens, these amino acids are abundant in milk which can be combined with groundnut products for better results.
