On September 13 National Peanut Day pays homage to mighty and tasty peanut. They grow underground like potatoes. When it comes to plants packing protein power, peanuts provide a whopping 8 grams per ounce, more than any other nut according to The Peanut Institute. And remember, it’s not a nut! Nuts grow on trees. Try this delicious brittle candy that you can whip up in just a couple of minutes. Plus you can be creative with this and use toffee, pistachios, or other nuts for the Two Minute Peanut Brittle recipe listed below.
The peanut is also high in antioxidants. Not only are peanuts high in necessary nutrients such as vitamin E, magnesium, niacin, phosphorus, B6, iron, selenium, zinc and many others, but when paired with other nutrient-rich foods, studies have shown this amazing legume helps us absorb nutrients better.
