Is peanut oil healthy? What about the oil squeezed by a small peanut oil press?
Peanut is a traditional food that people in China like. Peanut has certain medicinal value and health care function, and was called "longevity fruit" by the ancients. As the folk proverb says, "Eating peanuts often can keep you healthy". In the late 1990s, American nutrition experts first launched scientific research on peanut oil, peanut butter and peanut products. After years of research, it is found that peanuts and their products contain many functional factors, such as lowering cholesterol, benefiting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and resisting aging. The test results of China College of Preventive Medicine show that the zinc content of peanut oil is 8.48 mg per 100 grams, which is 7 times that of salad oil, 16 times that of rapeseed oil and 7 times that of soybean oil. Zinc can promote children's brain development, activate brain cells of middle-aged and elderly people, and has special effects on delaying aging.

In addition, peanuts and peanut products are low glycemic index foods, which play an important role in controlling blood sugar and diabetes. Peanut, as a kind of nut, can increase the consumption of excess energy and reduce the accumulation of fat in the body, which has a certain auxiliary effect on weight loss. Peanut and peanut oil are rich in nutrients, such as vitamin E, folic acid, thiamine, riboflavin, nicotinic acid, vitamin B, and some minerals such as magnesium, copper, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, iron and calcium, which play an important role as nutritional supplements for a healthy diet.

Nowadays, the pursuit of healthy and nutritious diet has become a topic of increasing concern. With the continuous release of peanut nutrition and health care research results, peanuts, known as "longevity fruits", are bringing more surprises to Chinese people. Fragrant peanut oil not only has all the characteristics of olive oil, but also is more acceptable to ordinary wage earners in terms of cost performance. Its unique quality is more suitable for China people's traditional eating habits that pay attention to color, fragrance and taste. From the above research, we can see that peanuts and peanut products have good effects of reducing blood lipid and preventing cardiovascular diseases. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, eating a certain amount of peanuts or using peanut oil as cooking oil every day can also stay away from the harm of cardiovascular diseases and live healthier like the elderly in the Mediterranean.
