Subject: RE: PEANUTS AS PART OF NUTRITION "What type of peanuts should I eat" I like roasted peanuts, with reduced salt, if possible. I LOVE boiled peanuts, however, and always gaze longingly at huge roadside kettles overflowing with that slimy, salty goodness. Oh, if only Hubby would stop the car ...
"how many should I eat" How many can you restrict yourself too? Seriously, though, check the serving size on the package and stick with that.
"how often should I eat them?" Again, how often can you not eat them?
I love peanuts, but I get most of my intake through natural peanut butter (peanuts and salt and nothing else ) on daily pbj sandwiches. Watch out for regular peanut butter because some fools have decided to add partially hydrogenated oils, which contain trans fats.
Also, if given the choice, I prefer to get peanuts still in the shell to avoid the extra salt and give me the fun of cracking them open. |
