Net carbs: 7.6g/100g. Highest protein nut (25.8g/100g). Technically a legume. Good source of resveratrol. Roasting increases antioxidant content.
At 25.8g protein per 100g, peanuts have the highest protein of any commonly eaten nut. Rich in lysine — the amino acid limiting in grains — making peanut-grain combinations (peanut butter on bread) a nutritionally complete protein.
12.1mg niacin per 100g — highest of any nut or seed. Essential for 400+ NAD-dependent reactions including energy production and DNA repair. Adequate niacin is associated with reduced cardiovascular disease risk and neuroprotection.
~73µg resveratrol per 100g — the same polyphenol in red wine. Roasting actually increases resveratrol content. Associated with may support cardiovascular health, Antioxidant support effects, and SIRT1 longevity pathway activation.
240µg folate per 100g (60% DV) — one of the richest plant sources. Essential for DNA synthesis, cell division, and prevention of neural tube defects. Peanuts and peanut butter are among the most practical and affordable folate-rich foods.
