Peanuts is a misunderstood food. Often, people consider it unhealthy but this is, most of the time, untrue. At least, not the sweetened and/or salted type. According to Prevention.com, eaten as a snack in moderation, peanuts can be beneficial in its natural form.
High in monounsaturated fats and protein but low in carbohydrates, this appears to be a superfood that suits the current health trend. Besides that, it is also high in vitamin E and various antioxidants, serving as a natural anti inflammatory.
As long as peanuts is not over consumed, a serving ounce contains 160 calories (so factor this based on your daily calorie intake), this is one nutritious snack that is, at the same time, (but rare) delicious!
