Roasted peanuts

Description

Roasted peanuts have a distinct, slightly buttery and sweet-nutty flavor, along with a crunchy texture, and their skin and interior take on a golden-brown color after the roasting process. They are rich in plant protein, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, fiber, vitamin E, niacin, and folic acid, as well as minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium, which contribute to satiety, support muscles, and may positively affect heart health when consumed in moderation; however, it is important to keep in mind their high calorie content and the possibility of allergies. In the kitchen, they are suitable as a standalone snack, an ingredient in mixes, an addition to salads, Asian dishes, sauces, and desserts, as well as a base for peanut butter. Store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry, and dark place, and after opening, it is best to refrigerate or freeze them to prevent the fats from going rancid.
