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.

Yes! As noted recently on this board, they contain the same potent

anti-aging ingredient as red wine - reservatrol. See Katrina's post:

I forgot where I read it (sorry) but apparently the reservatrol in peanuts

resides in the skins.

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.
