Trans fat~Fat in Peanuts
Peanuts are high in fat.
In fact, they are classified as oilseeds. A large proportion of the world’s peanut harvest is used for making peanut oil (arachis oil).
The fat content ranges from 44-56% and is mainly mono- and polyunsaturated fat, most of which is made up of oleic acid (40-60%) and linoleic acid.
Peanuts are high in fat, consisting mostly of mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids. They are often used to make peanut oil.Peanut ProteinsPeanuts are a good source of protein.
The protein content ranges from 22-30% of caloriesmaking peanuts a rich plant-based protein source.
As a plant food, peanuts are an exceptionally good source of protein.Carbs
Peanuts are low in carbs.
In fact, the carb content is only about 13-16% of total weight
Being low in carbs and high in protein, fat, and fibers, peanuts have a very low glycemic index, which is a measure of how quickly carbs enter the bloodstream after a meal.
Peanuts are low in carbs. This makes them a good dietary choice for people with diabetes.Vitamins and MineralsPeanuts are an excellent source of various vitamins and minerals.
The following vitamins and minerals are in particularly high amounts in peanuts
Biotin: Peanuts are one of the richest dietary sources of biotin, which is particularly important during pregnancy.
Copper: A dietary trace mineral that is often low in the Western diet. Copper deficiency may have adverse effects on heart health.
Niacin: Also known as vitamin B3, niacin has various important functions in the body. Niacin has been linked with reduced risk of heart disease.
Folate: Also known as vitamin B9 or folic acid, folate has many essential functions and is especially important in pregnancy.
•Manganese: A trace element found in drinking water and most foods.
•Vitamin E: A powerful antioxidant, often found in high amounts in fatty foods.
•Thiamin: One of the B-vitamins, also known as vitamin B1. It helps the body's cells convert carbs into energy, and is essential for the function of the heart, muscles, and nervous system.
•Phosphorus: Peanuts are a good source of phosphorus, a mineral that plays an essential role in the growth and maintenance of body tissues.
•Magnesium: An essential dietary mineral with various important functions. Magnesium intake is believed to protect against heart disease.
In short, peanuts are an excellent source of many vitamins and minerals. These include biotin, copper, niacin, folate, manganese, vitamin E, thiamin, phosphorus, and magnesium.Peanuts contain various bioactive plant compounds and antioxidants.In fact, peanuts are as rich in antioxidants as many fruits.
Most of the antioxidants are located in the skin of peanuts, which is rarely eaten and then only with raw peanuts.Here we will focus on those plant compounds found in peanut kernels, which are eaten more often.
A few noteworthy plant compounds found in peanut kernels include:
•p-Coumaric acid: A polyphenol that is one of the main antioxidants in peanuts.
•Resveratrol: A powerful antioxidant that may reduce the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Resveratrol is most notably found in red wine.
•Isoflavones: A class of antioxidant polyphenols, the most common of which is genistein. Categorized as phytoestrogens, isoflavones are associated with a variety of health effects, both good and bad.
•Phytic Acid: Found in plant seeds (including nuts), phytic acid may impair the absorption of iron and zinc from peanuts and other foods eaten at the same time.
•Phytosterols: Peanut oil contains considerable amounts of phytosterols, the most common of which is beta-sitosterol. Phytosterols impair the absorption of cholesterol from the digestive tract.
•Weight Loss
•Peanuts have been widely studied with regard to weight maintenance.
•Despite being high in fat and calories, peanuts do not appear to contribute to weight gain.
•In fact, observational studies have shown that peanut consumption may help maintain a healthy weight status and reduce the risk of obesity.
Various factors make peanuts a weight loss friendly food:
•Peanuts may reduce food intake by promoting satiety to a greater extent than other common snacks, such as rice cakes
•Because of how satiating peanuts are, people appear to compensate for increased peanut consumption by eating less of other foods.
•The high content of protein and monounsaturated fat in peanuts may increase energy expenditure.
•Peanuts are a source of insoluble dietary fiber, which is linked with reduced risk of weight gain.
