Did you know: Peanuts are actually legumes, although they possess qualities similar to other edible nuts such as pistachios and almonds. Peanuts provide high energy – almost 567 calories per 100 grams – and contain high quantities of nutrients, minerals, antioxidants and vitamins. Also high in mono-unsaturated fatty acids, especially oleic acid, peanuts help lower LDL or "bad cholesterol" and increase HDL or "good cholesterol” in the blood. Studies also suggest that roasting or boiling peanuts enhances the antioxidant bio-availability by almost two to four-fold.
