Peanuts calories and nutrition facts

Per 100 g: 567 kcal — 25.8 g protein, 49.2 g fat and 7.6 g carbs.

Botanically a legume rather than a nut, peanuts grow underground and turn up dry-roasted in British pubs and in their shells at American ballparks. Raw ones are about 567 kcal per 100 g and salted roasted ones about 599, so the bag matters a little and the handful a lot. They’re rich in manganese, and raw peanuts are rich in folate and copper too.
