Coming to the nutritional and health factors related to peanut, they are rich in energy and contain health benefit nutrients, minerals, antioxidants and vitamins that are essential for good health. They compose of mono unsaturated fatty acids, which help lower bad cholestrol and increase the good cholesterol. They are a good source of protein, contain good amount of amino acid that is needed for growth and development. Jaggery is a good source of iron.
