Peanuts, when consumed in moderation, generally do not affect elevated blood lipids; when consumed in large quantities over a long period of time they may lead to elevated blood lipids.
Peanuts are rich in nutrients, such as fat, protein, vitamins, trace elements and other substances.
Each 100 grams of raw peanut rice contains 574 calories, 44.3 grams of fat, 24.8 grams of protein, 21.7 grams of carbohydrates, 5.5 grams of dietary fiber, of which 8.3 grams of saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids 16.3 grams of monounsaturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids 16.3 grams of vitamin E 18.09 milligrams, 17.90 milligrams of niacin and 587 milligrams of potassium.
Among them, peanuts contain more fat, and the fat it contains can be divided into unsaturated fatty acids (such as oleic acid, linoleic acid, etc.) and saturated fatty acids (molluscic acid, stearic acid, etc.), and the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids in peanuts is high.
Unsaturated fatty acids are involved in the body’s lipid metabolism, which can reduce blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels and have cardiovascular benefits. Therefore, moderate consumption of peanuts does not cause elevated blood lipids.
It should be noted that peanuts have high calorie content, which may cause elevation of blood lipids when consumed in large quantities, and should therefore be consumed in moderation. People who are allergic to peanuts should not consume peanuts.
