Edible Seeds Groundnuts

The peanut, also known as the groundnut, is a legume crop grown mainly for its edible seeds. Peanuts are rich in protein, fat, and fiber. While peanuts may have a large amount of fat, most of the fats they contain are known as “good fats.” They are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and many key vitamins and minerals. Peanuts are rarely eaten raw. Instead, they are most often consumed roasted or as peanut butter. Other peanut products include peanut oil, flour, and protein. It is used in a variety of foods, such as desserts, cakes, confectionery, snacks, and sauces
