Peanuts are a rich source of protein (roughly 30 grams per cup after roasting) and Monounsaturated fat. Recent research on peanuts and nuts in general has found anti-oxidants and other chemicals that may provide health benefits.[2] Peanuts are a significant source of resveratrol, a chemical studied for potential anti-aging effects.
Because peanuts are considered an incomplete protein, containing relatively low amounts of the essential amino acids Lysine, Cystine, and Methionine, it is advised to be sure that a diet or meal with peanuts as a staple also include complementary foods such as dairy or whole grain.
Peanuts are also an unbalanced source of fat because they are devoid of required Omega-3 fats. [3] Some brands of peanut butter are fortified with Omega-3 in the form of flaxseed oil to balance the ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6.
Peanuts may be contaminated with the mold Aspergillus flavus which produces a carcinogenic substance called aflatoxin. While this substance quickly causes liver cancer in rats, humans are far more resistant. Lower quality specimens, particularly where mold is evident, are more likely to be contaminated[4]. To minimise this problem, make sure to obtain your peanuts from a reputable source, and store the peanuts in a cool dry place such as the refrigerator or freezer.

Nuts are highly recommended by all kinds of health experts these days, but they always make a point of excluding peanuts
that's because peanuts are not nuts, they're legumes.

go to the grocery store
get some boxes of cous cous
add a roma tomato some cucumber some onion
and eat
cous cous takes 5 minutes to make, it's delicious, and it comes in many flavors! i made lemon spinach cous cous last night, ate the entire box, and my stomach still hurts. but it was about $3 to make the entire meal, veggies included. i also put parmesan on mine, but i put parmesan on everything. feta cheese rules too, but it's pricey.
