Call it peanut, and groundnut, these small, oval-shaped nuts were perhaps one of the first few domesticated grain legumes by mankind. Not so long ago, these seeds or legumes, which are crunchy, flavourful, and aromatic to the taste- thanks to their high oil content were a staple ingredient in Indian kitchens. While ground nut oil was a regular for seasoning various recipes and even for deep frying, these pale, pink-coloured legumes served as an ideal mid-day snack option. Referred to as Moongphali in Hindi, Verkadalai in Tamil, Verusenagapappu in Telugu, Groundnuts have always been a staple in Indian kitchens in the form of oil, legumes, and nuts. Rich and flavourful groundnut chutney serves as an ideal accompaniment to piping dosas or idlis and for the children peanut butter spread on their bread and roti is that quintessential and favourite delight. There is absolutely zero amount of cholesterol in peanuts. However, they are loaded with fats – only good fats – Monounsaturated and Polyunsaturated ones. More than 80% of these fats are heart-healthy fats that are often found in avocados and olive oil, which are known to lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
