Groundnuts

Groundnut, also known as peanut, is a legume crop that is widely cultivated for its edible seeds. The seeds are a rich source of protein, healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Groundnuts are used in a variety of culinary applications, such as making peanut butter, oil, roasted snacks, and in Asian cuisine.

Groundnuts have numerous health benefits. They are a great source of plant-based protein and are packed with healthy fats, including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. They are also a rich source of antioxidants, such as resveratrol and p-coumaric acid, which may help protect against chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer. Groundnuts are also rich in fiber, which can help with digestion and weight management.
