Peanut

Red peanut seeds are nutritious because they are high in protein, fat and calories. Raw peanut is an excellent source of thiamine, niacin, magnesium and potassium, a good source of pantothenic acid, copper, zinc and phosphorus and contains iron. Dry roasted peanut is an excellent source of magnesium, niacin and potassium and a good source of zinc, copper, thiamine and phosphorus. It contains pantothenic acid, iron and vitamin B6. It is also a high source of fiber. Peanut fats are composed of 85.5% unsaturated acids, including 57% monounsaturated acids and 28.5% polyunsaturated acids. The red film that covers the peanut is good: it is rich in oligometric proantocyanidins, complex substances that protect the heart. These powerful antioxidants help prevent not only heart attacks, but also cancer and stroke.
