benefits of groundnuts
The health benefits of groundnuts are many because, in addition to its high protein content that can replace meat or fish, peanuts have "good fats". The latter associated with peanut fiber makes it an interesting food to fight against cancer, cardiovascular diseases, gallstones or type 2 diabetes. And this antioxidant action is reinforced by a precious nutrient content such as zinc, manganese, copper, phosphorus, magnesium and B vitamins.
That said, the consumption of peanuts is strongly discouraged - or even prohibited - to people who are allergic to the proteins of this fruit because they could suffer anaphylactic shock. These people need to be particularly vigilant about the composition of the products they consume, as many of them contain peanuts.
In fact, peanut enters the process of making breakfast cereals, cakes, bread, dairy products, ice creams, and sausages to increase the protein content or improve the taste and consistency. On the other hand, peanut can be contaminated by a mold invisible to the naked eye that produces a carcinogenic toxin, aflatoxin. It is for this reason that you should avoid eating stained, moldy or rancid peanuts.
These reservations made, we can savor this fruit in different forms. In the trade, we find roasted peanuts whether they are shelled or in hulls that can be consumed as such or salted. But groundnuts can also be pounded, ground or turned into a paste to give the delicious peanut butter. The latter will be chosen preferably natural because industrial peanut butter contain salt, chemical preservatives, flavorings, and added sugars.
The same recommendation will be made about peanut oil, which is better to choose cold pressed and not extracted hot from a chemical solvent and then deodorized, discolored and ultrafiltered. This oil, used as a table oil or as a raw material for the manufacture of margarine to the property to withstand high temperatures.
Apart from human food, peanuts still have many other markets.
In fact, with the peanut cake, the animals are fed and their leaves used as fodder. In addition, the peanut is used as a solvent in the pharmaceutical industry and its oil is used in the soap industry. Finally, because its crop enriches the soil with nitrogen, peanuts can be used as green manure.
