Peanut Lover? (Day 5)
Love peanuts? Then eat up. Dr. George Washington Carver discovered more than 300 ways to use peanuts!
A member of the dried bean family, not a tree nut, peanuts provide protein. And they’re also packed with heart-healthy substances—among them folate, magnesium, good (monounsaturated) fats, and two plant substances called resveratrol and plant sterols—yet no cholesterol!
Enjoy chopped peanuts in salads, on cereal, in baked goods, in smoothies.
