Customers have been asking for organic peanuts, so here they are. CB’s Nuts Kettle Roasted peanuts are high in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats (including oleic acid, the healthful fat found in olive oil) and is also a good source of vitamin E, niacin, folate, protein, magnesium, and manganese. Peanuts have also been found to contain the phenolic antioxidant resveratrol, the beneficial compound found in red wine and grapes. Roasting can increase another of peanuts’ antioxidants, primarily a compound called p-coumaric acid, by as much as 22%, making roasted peanuts richer in antioxidants than apples, carrots, or beets. Finally, eating peanuts can also help reduce the risk of developing cancer, as they contain a form of phytosterol called beta-sitoserol (SIT), which is known to inhibit tumor growth. With all that goodness, it shouldn’t be surprising that studies show frequent peanut consumption can lower your risk of cardiovascular and coronary heart disease, stroke, and cancer.
