Groundnuts

Groundnuts, also known as peanuts, are nutrient-dense legumes commonly consumed as snacks or used in cooking and oil production. Rich in protein, healthy fats, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin E, magnesium, and folate, groundnuts offer numerous health benefits, including heart health support and improved energy levels. They can be eaten raw, roasted, boiled, or ground into peanut butter and are also widely used in various cuisines. Despite being called “nuts,” groundnuts grow underground and belong to the legume family, making them unique among other commonly consumed nuts.
