About All types peanuts

Peanuts, dry-roasted with salt, are a popular snack across India and worldwide. The roasting enhances flavor and texture, while the salt adds a savory taste. These peanuts are often eaten alone, used in chutneys, or incorporated into savory dishes.

Nutritionally, this snack is high in niacin, vitamin E, manganese, magnesium, protein, phosphorus, folate (B9), and copper — making it a nutrient-dense food rich in essential vitamins and minerals. Despite their high fat content, they provide valuable plant-based protein and micronutrients.

This food fits well in vegetarian and vegan diets but should be consumed in moderation due to its relatively high sodium and fat content. It contains peanuts, a common allergen, which must be noted for sensitive individuals.
