According to recent studies, groundnut skins have an abundant amount of natural antioxidants and a high content of dietary fiber. Unknown to many people, groundnut is one of the best sources of protein. It is also very beneficial when it comes to matters of health. Although they are high in fat, it can be said to be the good kind of fat as it is monounsaturated fat. Here are some of the benefits of eating groundnut;

1. High protein

When it comes to the healthiness of our cells, protein is essential. And this is because the cells in our body are constantly being replaced and repaired and to ensure that the new cells are healthy, and the damaged ones repaired well, the need for protein cannot be overemphasized.

2. Rich in antioxidant

Groundnut skins are rich in phenolic compounds, which go to say that they are antioxidant rich. Antioxidants, on the hand, help p protect the body from oxidative stress, which occurs in cases of various cancers and diseases. They are powerful substances, which prohibit (and in some cases even prevent), the oxidation of other molecules in the body.

3. Healthy fats

As earlier stated, groundnut contains monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats that keep the heart-healthy. And this is great for the healthy condition of the heart because a good level, of both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, helps to lower blood cholesterol levels as well as reducing the risk of coronary heart diseases.

4. Vitamins

Groundnut provides our body with essential vitamins, which helps in regulating metabolism, converting fat and carbohydrates into energy, and facilitating bone and tissue formation. Vitamins do not only ensure vital health for cells and tissues, they also help in fighting infections; thereby ensuring the smooth functioning of our organs.

5. Rich source of minerals

As stated in the introduction, groundnut is a rich source of minerals. And some of these minerals include magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, calcium, sodium, etc. These minerals are needed by our body to function well. It is, however, important to note that adequate supply of these minerals ensure a healthy heart as well as minimizing the risk of mineral deficient diseases.
