Pea-Nuts about you!

Growing up in India, you must have seen the common spectacle of roadside vendors selling boiled or roasted peanuts. Peanuts have roughly 25.8 grams of protein per 100 grams. Being a good plant-based protein source, it's beneficial to consume.
These little nuts are also a powerhouse of good fats, micro and macronutrients, and protect us from a variety of illnesses. Unlike almonds, walnuts, and cashews, peanuts aren't as expensive.

Another interesting fact about peanuts is their versatility. You can have these roasted, salted, with chocolate or jaggery or many other hit combinations.
