Peanuts

Peanuts
(Peanuts) Peanuts are not really a nut, but an underground growing bean or pea, which led to their being called "Goober's peas".   Dry roasted peanuts with no salt are good tasting, a fun food (especially when in the shell) and not a junk food; but they are very high in calories because of their high oil content.  The nutritional chart below is for the shelled nuts.

Peanuts, all types, dry-roasted, without salt

Vegan FlagThe above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
