Peanuts are particularly rich in protein, making them an essential nutritional source for a balanced diet, especially for vegetarian and vegan diets. Thanks to their high content of essential amino acids, they support muscle development and tissue repair.
A Source of Energy and Healthy Fats
Due to their unsaturated fatty acid content, peanuts are an energy-packed food that contributes to good cardiovascular health. They are also rich in fiber, promoting digestion and gut wellness. Their high calorie content makes them an excellent energy source for active individuals and athletes.
A Food Rich in Minerals and Vitamins
Peanuts contain magnesium, potassium, and zinc, essential for the body’s proper functioning. They are also an excellent source of vitamin B3, promoting good blood circulation and energy metabolism. Their natural antioxidants help combat oxidative stress and cellular aging.
