Peanuts

Peanuts are among the most well-known nuts and have been part of the Western world’s diet for a long time. Native to South America and Peru, they initially grow in shells and are small with a lightly sweet and nutty flavour.

These nuts are so versatile that you can eat them sweet or savoury. If you prefer raw peanuts, we provide blanched and redskin peanuts. If you have a sweet tooth, you can try them dipped in yoghurt, milk chocolate or dark chocolate. We also provide them with a tasty chilli coating. 

Peanuts are wonderful for lowering cholesterol, skin and hair health, weight loss and controlling blood sugar levels. They are full of healthy fats, protein, biotin and fibre.

Nutritional benefits of peanuts

Eating peanuts is a great way to increase your health and wellness because of their nutritional benefits. Here are just some of the benefits of including peanuts in your diet:

High in protein - Peanuts make a great snack if you want to increase your protein intake. Our blanched peanuts contain a massive 26 grams of protein per 100-gram serving.

Rich in biotin - Biotin is vital for your hair, skin and nails. Peanuts contain essential amino acids for your body to naturally build biotin, so eating a few daily has beauty benefits.

Source of fibre - Peanuts are an excellent source of fibre, which will improve your gut health for a better digestive system.

Enriched with vitamin E - Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants protect your body against free radicals that naturally occur and damage your cells, causing premature ageing and a higher risk of cancer. So, include peanuts in your diet for a dose of vitamin E.

Contains copper - Peanuts contain the essential mineral copper, which enhances your immune system to fight off bad bacteria. Copper also plays a role in your body's production of collagen - a protein that provides your skin, tendons and muscles with strength and elasticity.
