Peanuts

Peanuts are one of the most useful nuts and the least expensive. Some of the other names associated with peanuts are ground nuts, monkey nuts and goobers. In fact, they are actually legumes, a bean, which begins above ground and as the peanut develops the weight and gravity bring it down to ground and is forced underground where it finishes its development, hense the term "ground nuts." They originate from South America, but have since been imported into the tropics & southern US.

The peanut is extremely high in protein and contains 40/50% oil. The oil from the peanut is used in cooking, salad oil, margarines and the residue is used in animal food. Whole peanuts can be eaten raw, roasted or made into peanut butter. Take care in peanut butter for brands which do not contain hydrogenated oils, which are highly saturated. In 100g. of peanuts, there is 24.3g. protein, 2mg. iron & 3mg. zinc.

At Nuts4u, we offer various varieties of peanuts including: Blanched Peanuts, Redskin Peanuts, Creole Peanuts, Honey Roasted Peanuts & Inshell Peanuts
