Peanut has high nutritional value, with fat content of 44%-45%, protein content of 24%-36% and sugar content of about 20%, in which most of the fat is unsaturated fatty acid. In addition, peanuts also contain vitamins B2, PP, A, D, E, calcium and iron, so they can reduce cholesterol and blood lipids and improve human hematopoietic function.
The nutritional content of raw peanuts is higher than that of cooked peanuts, but the weight loss effect of raw peanuts is not as good as that of cooked peanuts, because cooked peanuts will lose some oil in the process of ripening, so it is more suitable to eat cooked peanuts, especially boiled peanuts, during weight loss. In addition, peanuts are susceptible to aflatoxin. After boiled in water, the contaminated aflatoxin in peanuts can be basically dissolved in water, which is safer to eat and can avoid stomach pain and diarrhea caused by eating raw peanuts.
Remarks: Peanut has high oil content and is not suitable for patients with gallbladder disease. In addition, it should be noted that moldy peanuts cannot be eaten.
