Peanuts

Peanuts are a popular legume that is typically eaten roasted or as peanut butter. They are high in protein, healthy fats, and fiber, as well as a good source of several essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin E, B vitamins, and magnesium. However, due to their high calorie and fat content, they should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Some studies suggest that consuming peanuts in moderation may help reduce the risk of heart disease, as well as promote weight loss and management. However, people with peanut allergies should avoid them at all costs, as they can cause severe allergic reactions.
