Unsalted Peanuts

Unsalted Peanuts are the edible seeds of the peanut plant, widely used in cuisines worldwide as snacks, in nut butters, sauces and confections. They are a staple ingredient in many African, Asian and American dishes and are prized for their rich, savory flavor and crunchy texture. Nutritionally, Unsalted Peanuts are an energy-dense plant food and a notable source of protein, providing about 24.4g of protein per 100g, along with substantial fiber and predominantly monounsaturated fats. They also supply minerals such as copper and manganese and healthy fats that contribute to satiety. Overall, peanuts are a convenient, nutrient-rich plant protein and healthy-fat snack, though they are calorie-dense so portion control is helpful. Their amino-acid profile is not as complete as animal proteins, so combining them with other plant foods can improve protein quality.
