Did you know that peanuts aren’t actually nuts?..they are legumes so more closely related to lentils than almonds and they are nutritional powerhouses! Unlike tree nuts, peanuts grow beneath the ground.
The health benefits of peanuts and products made from peanuts have long been discussed. In an abstract paper* covered by Harvard Health Publishing an international team of researchers found that in a study of more than 200,000 people, those who regularly ate peanuts and other nuts were less likely to have died of any cause - but particularly heart disease - than those who rarely ate nuts. This was an observational study and nothing has been definitely proven though it certainly makes for interesting reading!
So how can peanuts contribute to a healthy diet? According to the National Peanut Board ** peanuts contain lots of good nutrition.
