Guest guest Posted August 3, 2001 Report Share Posted August 3, 2001 This has come up before that several people cannot have peanuts even with enzymes. All nuts are not alike. Peanuts are a legume like soybeans (grown in the ground). Most others nuts are tree nuts. Botanically these are very different and from completely different families. And like the soybeans which are known to be high in protein and problematic, peanuts are high in protein also. The high protein content makes them much more likely to cause allergies or intolerances. They may also be phenolic but I am not sure of this, but that could be a problem too if someone has phenol issues. In food technology, peanuts are looked at for their oil and also as silage/feed as an alternative to soybeans. Soybeans are used far more often because peanuts are very allergenic. Peanuts are also far more expensive to grow, whereas soybeans are dirt cheap. This explains the use of soy so often as filler. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 I forgot where I read it (sorry) but apparently the reservatrol in peanuts resides in the skins.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 The research results on peanuts were presented today at the American Chemical Society meeting by Dr. Tim from the USDA Agricultural Research Service in North Carolina. Dr. , and his colleague Dr. W. Mc, Jr., found that peanuts have a significant amount of resveratrol in both the kernel and skin. on 11/8/2003 12:58 PM, Al Young at acyoung@... wrote: > > I forgot where I read it (sorry) but apparently the reservatrol in peanuts > resides in the skins. > > Al > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Francesca Skelton > > > Yes!
