Speaking of peanuts, I think of Xu Dishan's article "Falling Peanuts".
In fact, in our daily lives, there are many seemingly inconspicuous, but like air-like indispensable "dragon set food" ---- peanuts.
Since landing in Fujian at the end of the Ming Dynasty, this white fat man has been stationed in the land of most provinces in China with great vitality, and a variety of ways of eating have connected a peanut river and lake.
It can be peanut stewed pork knuckle soup in a casserole pot at home, or it can be a food stall in the night market with beer to eat, or it can be a train journey, passing the leisure time ---- "peanuts, melon seeds, mineral water"...
Where there are rivers and lakes, there are peanuts on the side.

Although good peanuts are nutritious, don't be too greedy
Although nuts such as peanuts have many nutritional advantages, their fat content is not low.
For example, half a pound of peanuts, calories account for 1400 kcal, accounting for more than half of the daily recommended calorie intake! The most important thing is that if you unconsciously consume too much, it will inevitably lead to excessive energy intake, so it is important to control the amount.
Having said that, how much is more appropriate to eat in a day?
According to the 2016 Edition of the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents, the recommended intake of nuts is an average of 50 to 70g per week.
This means that eating peanut kernels every day is about 10g, and eating peanuts at the same time needs to reduce the total energy of the diet for three meals a day, after all, peanut calories really can not be underestimated.
Which people should not eat peanuts in large quantities?
1. People with hepatobiliary diseases
Peanuts are high-protein, high-fat foods that stimulate the gallbladder and cause the gallbladder to secrete a large amount of bile. The liver and gallbladder both have the effect of secreting bile, and once too much peanut is eaten, it will increase the burden on the liver and gallbladder.
Second, obese, oily skin people
Peanuts contain a lot of fat components, if you eat too much, it will lead to an increase in the fat content in the body, which will aggravate the phenomenon of obesity.
3. People with diarrhea and indigestion
Although people with excessive stomach acid eat some raw peanuts appropriately, it can alleviate some discomfort.
However, peanuts have the effect of slippery intestines, and once consumed too much, it is easy to cause diarrhea. Moreover, there are more proteins in peanuts, which will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract after entering the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in the aggravation of indigestion.
Moldy peanuts, don't eat them!
You know, aflatoxine prefers to store peanuts, rice and other grains, once the peanut is found to be moldy, it is likely to imply that aflatoxin has been produced.
Aflatoxin, as a carcinogen, will not only increase the incidence of liver cancer, stomach cancer, etc., but also the ordinary cooking temperature is difficult to kill toxins.
Therefore, when buying bulk peanuts, you need to distinguish carefully, if you find mold when cooking a pot of peanuts to eat, then it is recommended that the whole pot be discarded.
