American Peanut Council

LONDON, January 4 - Enjoying a few peanuts over the festive season is one thing, but assuming you should ditch them along with other high fat foods, once the New Year dieting urge kicks in is a big mistake! It's official, American peanuts provide more than 30% of your daily needs for no less than 14 key nutrients and that's on top of the protein and energy they provide! So peanuts offer a powerful nutritional boost, just what you need if you're cutting back the calories after the festive excesses.
