A Better Choice For Freshness

Peanuts are easily one of the most popular nuts around! They’re quite versatile, and everyone seems to love the little salty snack. But did you know that they actually have quite a few health benefits too? In celebration of World Peanut Day, we are going to highlight four of their benefits that’ll get you reaching for the peanut packet!

  1. Contains antioxidants

Antioxidants are super important as they neutralize free radicals, which are the molecules that can cause damage to your cells.

  1. Protection against gallstones

It has been said that if you eat one serving of peanuts a day, this can help reduce your risk of developing gallstones. Women, overweight individuals, people over 40 and people with a diet high in calories are all at risk of gallstones – which is quite a lot of people!

  1. Peanuts contain copper

Copper is actually considered an essential micronutrient. Copper forms a crucial part of enzymes that govern energy production and neural activity. Copper deficiency can lead to cardiovascular disease.

  1. Full of mono-unsaturated fats

It is no secret that peanuts are quite high in fats, but the types of fats in peanuts are actually healthy. Mono-unsaturated fats have been associated with lower cardiovascular risk, which means peanuts can help clear those arteries!

Who would have thought that these salty, bite-sized snacks could be so good for your health?!
