Not only do peanuts taste good, but they deliver a multitude of health benefits. For example, peanuts are high in mono-unsaturated fats. These fats have been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Peanuts are also rich in niacin, Vitamin E, magnesium and foliate.
Even though they are a legume- a vegetable- and not a fruit, peanuts contain resveratol also found in red grapes. Resveratrol is beneficial in protecting a person's body from cancer and viruses. Not only that, but it's an anti-inflammatory that can help slow down the aging process and promote longevity.
Peanuts also contain a significant amount of powerful antioxidants. They are high in protein, provide energy, and are a good source of fiber. The humble peanut contains a respectable list of nutrients — vitamin E, niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin B6, and essential minerals such as copper, phosphorous, potassium, zinc and magnesium. They also are a good source of fiber and protein.
