Description
Peanuts are rich in essential nutrients. In a 100-gram reference serving, peanuts provide 2,385 kilojoules (570 kilocalories) of food energy and are an excellent source of several B vitamins, vitamin E, several dietary minerals, such as manganese, magnesium and phosphorus, and dietary fiber. They also contain about 25 g of protein per 100 g serving, a higher proportion than in many tree nuts.
