About nuts

Peanuts

Peanuts, also known as groundnuts, are often classified as nuts, but they are actually legumes. Regardless, they are an excellent source of unsaturated fatty acids, which help prevent cardiovascular disease, and they also contain magnesium and fiber, which reduce the risk of diabetes. Peanuts are high in protein and are therefore very popular among athletes, especially in the form of peanut butter, which is excellent for preparing meals, as a supplement before and after training, or as a healthy form of breakfast or dinner. In addition, they contain zinc, iron, folic acid, vitamin E and also the natural antioxidant reservatrol, which is considered an effective fighter against cancer.
