Did you ever guess this riddle when you were young?
The answer is that peanuts, a frequent visitor on our table, are not only delicious and nutritious, but also known as "longevity fruit" and "vegetarian meat".
Let's talk about peanuts today ~
A peanut has five housekeeping skills, 1, and is rich in nutrition.
Peanut's "vegetarian meat" is not worthy of the name!
How good is it? Let me see-
Every 100g peanut contains about 20g ~ 25g of protein, which is 0.5 ~ 2 times of the protein content of eggs!
Moreover, peanuts also contain a lot of vitamin E, vitamin B, choline and minerals such as potassium, calcium, iron and zinc.

The fatty acids contained in peanuts are mostly unsaturated fatty acids, which is helpful to improve the composition of blood lipids.

Peanut is rich in phytosterol, which helps to reduce the content of total cholesterol and harmful cholesterol in blood and is beneficial to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Peanut is sweet in taste and flat in nature, which can moisten the lungs, strengthen the spleen, harmonize the stomach, tonify the middle energizer and replenish qi.
5, delay aging
Peanut contains natural polyphenols, such as resveratrol and plant isoflavones, which have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
Next, I want to remind all my friends who love peanuts-
Don't eat this peanut, "longevity fruit" will become "deadly fruit" every second.
Never eat moldy peanuts! ! !
Moldy peanuts contain aflatoxin, which is listed as 1 carcinogen by the World Health Organization, ranking first among all substances in nature.
After people eat aflatoxin by mistake, it will cause acute poisoning, mainly damaging the liver.
Moreover, after long-term poisoning, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and even liver cancer will occur.
Some people may say, no matter who eats moldy peanuts!
Not to mention, many people will feel pity, just a little moldy, there is no need to throw it all away, especially the elderly.
Some people are lucky and always feel that it doesn't matter to eat a little.
So, don't be soft when you meet moldy peanuts, and throw them away quickly!
Health reminder:
When you encounter moldy peanuts, throw them away quickly, and you can't decompose toxins when cooking; When you eat bitter peanuts, you must spit them out in time and rinse your mouth fully.
Eating peanuts is a technical job, and there are four points to pay attention to-
Four-character formula of healthy edible peanuts 1, quantity
Peanut has a high fat content, so it is recommended to eat about 10g every day, about 10~ 12 peanuts.
2, bogey
These three types of people had better eat less or no peanuts:
Cholecystectomy, gastropathy, diabetes: these three types of people should eat less peanuts so as not to increase the burden on the stomach; People with blood stasis, blood viscosity or thrombosis: peanuts contain procoagulant factors, which are not suitable for eating more; Nut allergy: people who are allergic to nuts such as peanuts should not eat them. Step 3 choose
Fresher peanuts have three characteristics: the color of peanut coat is lighter, it has the smell of peanuts, and the shell is not easy to peel off.
On the contrary, those with dark color, bad taste and easy peeling can be stored for a long time.
Step 4 rescue
Dry peanuts thoroughly, then seal them with plastic food bags or bottles and put them in a dry and ventilated place; It is recommended that the storage time of purchased peanuts should not exceed 12 months.
There are many ways to eat peanuts, which is the healthiest? Which peanut is more nutritious, red or black?
The secret of peanut nutrition 1. What is the most nutritious way to eat peanuts?
Raw peanuts have not been processed and have no nutritional loss, but the probability of being contaminated during production and storage is relatively high, so we must pay attention to hygiene.
Boiled peanuts taste delicious, and most nutrients and medicinal ingredients can be basically preserved.
The nutritional value and medicinal value of fried and fried peanuts are greatly reduced after high temperature frying or frying.
Salted peanuts, salted peanuts, spiced peanuts and other peanuts will increase in salt content, which is not suitable for people with low-salt diet requirements.
So from a health point of view, the best way to eat is naturally raw or boiled ~
