4. It also contains more than a dozen amino acids, fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, β-sitosterol, zinc, dietary fiber and other components, especially VA, VE, VB 1, VB2, VK, and a large number of trace elements such as phosphorus, calcium and iron, which have extremely high health care value for human body.
5, colorful peanuts contain a variety of amino acids, and less oil, which can be used as snack food and daily diet meals.
