THE DOWNSIDE

What to keep in mind

  • Contains 599 kcal and 52.5 g fat per 100 g, so eating directly from a large container can make portions easy to underestimate.
  • Contains 320 mg sodium, equivalent to 0.800 g salt per 100 g; an unsalted variant is preferable when reducing sodium.
  • Peanut is a major food allergen and can cause life-threatening reactions; cross-contact must be taken seriously.
  • Whole peanuts are choking hazards for infants and young children; CDC advises against whole or chopped nuts for this group.
  • The type and amount of roasting oil and salt vary by manufacturer, and opened nuts can turn rancid; check the package and store cool and airtight.
