GOOD TO KNOW

The whole story
behind peanuts, dry roasted, salted

Nutrition is rarely simply “good” or “bad”. Here is the balanced picture to help you decide what fits your diet.

THE UPSIDE

Why it can be a great choice

Provides 24.4 g protein and 8.4 g fibre per 100 g, making a measured portion a compact protein-and-fibre snack.
Provides magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, vitamin E, folate and vitamin B6.
Most of the 49.7 g total fat is unsaturated, and dry roasting avoids the added oil coating found on oil-roasted peanuts.
A measured serving is portable and energy-dense, which can be useful when appetite is limited or energy needs are high.

THE DOWNSIDE

What to keep in mind

Contains 410 mg sodium, equivalent to about 1.03 g salt per 100 g; actual salted brands vary considerably and the package label takes priority.
Peanut is a major allergen that can cause severe or fatal anaphylaxis; small amounts and cross-contact can matter.
Contains about 587 kcal per 100 g, so repeated handfuls can add substantial energy.
Whole dry-roasted peanuts are hard choking hazards for young children and require an age-appropriate form.
Poor storage can lead to rancidity or mould; keep the product dry and airtight and discard nuts with off odours, bitterness or visible damage.
