products - about peanuts/groundnuts

Peanuts, or groundnuts, are high-protein legumes that grow well in dry regions. Raw peanuts contain phytochemicals that elicit anti-cancer and antioxidant properties linked to lowering risk of heart disease. They contain a healthy dose of cholesterol lowering monounsaturated fats (50% oleic acid). Just one serving of peanuts (25g) provides 12% of the daily recommended intake of protein.

Peanuts contain several important vitamins and minerals including Vitamin B6, Vitamin E, folic acid, magnesium, copper, zinc and selenium. Research has shown that peanuts may significantly hinder the development of Type II diabetes in women.

With 6.4% dietary fibre content, peanuts are very good for digestion and reduce risk of gallstones. They are rich in antioxidants that slow down aging, and they are a good source of niacin and manganese which can prevent Alzheimer's disease and age-related cognitive decline. Peanuts also provide folic acid, vitamin A, oleic acid and magnesium.
