Dried Peanut Kernel for Cooking Use, Making Oil

peanuts and peanut butter are whole foods that pack a lot of nutrition into just one
serving. Peanuts are whole foods that contain a variety of vitamins and minerals, ample
protein and beneficial unsaturated fats. Since they are a plant food, they naturally
contain no cholesterol.
    protein: peanuts contain high quality plant protein. When comparing peanuts to similar
foods, peanuts have more protein than any other legume or nut. This is especially important
for children, vegetarians and people eating more meatless meals.
    unsaturated fats: peanuts contain mostly beneficial monounsaturated and polyunsaturated
fats. These fats as compared to saturated fats have been shown to help lower blood
cholesterol levels. Lowering your blood cholesterol level may reduce your risk of coronary
heart disease.
    fiber: one ounce or one small handful of peanuts contains 2 big grams of fiber. This is
9% of the fiber you need each day!
    vitamine e: one ounce of peanuts provide 16% of your daily need of vitamin e. Vitamin e
has been shown to act as an antioxidant which may reduce the risk of coronary heart
disease.
    minerals: peanuts are an important source of essential minerals such as magnesium,
copper, phosphorus, potassium and zinc. Some of these “hard to find” minerals such as
copper and magnesium may protect against coronary heart disease.
    vitamin b: b vitamins such as folate can help prevent birth defects. They also reduce
amounts of homocysteine in the blood that may be a risk for heart disease. Peanuts are a
good source of folate.
    phytochemicals: phytochemicals are natural substances in plants which may provide a
wide range of health benefits such as reducing the risk of coronary heart disease. Peanuts
contain resveratrol which is one of the many phytochemicals found in plant foods.
