Delicious, crunchy,
and nutty peanuts are one of the popular oil seeds known to mankind since
ancient times.
Peanuts are members of the legume family, which is the same
family as beans.
Boiled peanuts have a high amount of vitamins and minerals
and a healthy amount of protein , because of their nutritional benefit and low
cost, they are very popular. They also have a high amount of fat, but the good

boiled peanuts (includes all types of peanuts) gives you 200 calories, which is
10 percent of your daily calories needs if you are on a 2,000-calorie diet.
54.8 of the calories come from carbohydrates, 116 are from fat, and 29.5 of
them are from protein. A cup has 21 percent of your daily fat needs, making the
majority of calories come from fat. A little less than half of it is saturated
fat. Calories from protein account for 17 percent of your daily protein need,
and carbohydrate calories account for 4 percent of your daily carbohydrate
need.
Peanuts are an excellent source of resveratrol, another
polyphenolic antioxidant. Resveratrol has been found to have protective
function against cancers, heart disease, degenerative nerve disease,
Alzheimer's disease, and viral/fungal infections.
One cup of boiled

but will not make you feel overly full.
The peanuts are cooked in one of two ways: boiled or
pressure cooked. The high water absorption during the boiling process keeps the
calories lower than in dry-roasted peanuts.
Recent research studies suggest that boiling enhances antioxidant
concentration in the peanuts. It has been found that boiled peanuts have two
and four-fold increase in isoflavone antioxidants biochanin-A and genistein
content, respectively. (Journal of agricultural and food chemistry).
Just a hand full of
peanuts per day provides enough recommended levels of phenolic anti-oxidants,
minerals, vitamins, and protein.
Boiled peanut, which is in season are popular now, on the Nigerian street. I went on the street to hear what people had to say about
boiled peanuts

reactions unlike the fried one, sweet when prepared properly, it serves as a
meal because when I consume reasonably in large quantum, its fills me up'
Other opinions were because of its low cost, its serves
as food mostly lunch, it keeps them occupied during work hours
Boiled peanuts!!!!
Oh, the memories they bring back of sitting around my grandmothers
kitchen table with a large bowl of them in the middle of the table and a paper
towel in front of me on which to put the empty shells. I would have the salty peanut juice running
down my arms to my elbows, but stopping to clean myself up was not conceivable. The object was to crack the shells and shovel
the soft peanuts into my mouth as fast as I could go. Everyone else at the table was doing the same
thing and the unspoken rule was that everyone’s empty shell pile had to be the
same size.
