Peanuts, kernel only, plain, weighed with shells

Peanuts are legumes whose edible kernels are grouped with nuts and seeds. This entry describes plain peanut kernels, with the weight including the shells rather than just the edible part. Per 100g weighed with shells, they provide 1615 kJ of energy, 32g of fat, including 6g of saturates, and 18g of protein.

Protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Most of the fat in peanuts is unsaturated, although their saturated fat and energy content are relevant for people monitoring these intakes. Peanuts are also a food allergen and are not suitable for people with peanut allergy. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
