Unqualified nutrition nerd. 🙋🏻‍♀️ Peanuts do seem to have a higher tendency of absorbing/developing some bad compounds compared to other nuts (although peanuts are technically legumes 🙄) but the benefits seem to outweigh the side effects. Pay attention to how you feel, don’t eat too much of it and you’ll be great. Variety is much more valuable for your microbial than splitting hairs about real, whole food.

Great points but also peanut butter (which originally sparked the discussion) isn’t a whole food; the added oils and sugars at least are definitely not good

Well that’s a different ball game 👍

Those are definitely not worth discussing. I was referring to 100% pure peanut butter. Nothing added. Blended whole food? 😅

I’d still balk at the PUFAs but yeah that’s a LOT better… hard to find on US shelves though, most is absolute crap

Crazy Richard's Peanut Butter is our go-to. Rather easy to find, too. 👌🏻

have you ever made some peanut butter yourself? 🤔

No, not worth the cost and effort for me when it’s so easy to find in high quality. 🤷🏻‍♀️

hmm, good point 🤔🤗
