About Handfull of peanuts
A handful of peanuts is a nutrient-dense snack with origins tracing back to South America, where peanuts have been cultivated for centuries. Packed with protein, healthy fats, and fiber, peanuts are excellent for promoting satiety and supporting muscle function. They contain essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin E, magnesium, and potassium, which are beneficial for heart health and maintaining energy levels. Peanuts also provide antioxidants, such as resveratrol, that support overall wellness. However, they are calorie-dense, with a handful containing about 150-200 calories, so portion control is key to avoiding excess calorie intake. While raw or dry-roasted peanuts are the healthiest options, salted or flavored varieties may contribute to higher sodium levels. This simple snack is a versatile addition to various cuisines, including American, African, and Asian dishes, where peanuts are used in sauces, desserts, and savory recipes.
