About Peanuts, all types, raw
Peanuts are, botanically, a legume rather than a true nut — they grow underground, more closely related to beans than to almonds — but in the kitchen and the snack bowl they behave like a nut entirely. Roasted, boiled, salted or ground into butter, they're among the most-eaten 'nuts' on earth.
They're notably high in plant protein for a nut, along with the heart-healthy unsaturated fats, fiber, niacin, folate, vitamin E and magnesium. That protein-and-fat density makes them filling and calorie-rich, so a handful is the sensible serving. (Peanuts are also a common allergen, worth flagging.)
Cheap, satisfying and genuinely nutritious, peanuts are one of the best-value protein snacks around — just as good straight from the shell as spread thickly on toast.
