Peanuts and antioxidants
"Recent research on peanuts and nuts in general has found antioxidants and other chemicals that may provide health benefits.[11] New research shows peanuts rival the antioxidant content of many fruits. Roasted peanuts rival the antioxidant content of blackberries and strawberries, and are far richer in antioxidants than apples, carrots or beets. Research conducted by a team of University of Florida scientists, published in the journal Food Chemistry, shows that peanuts contain high concentrations of antioxidant polyphenols, primarily a compound called p-coumaric acid, and that roasting can increase peanuts' p-coumaric acid levels, boosting their overall antioxidant content by as much as 22%.[12]"

So what you are really trying to do here is justify your addiction to peanut butter, right!!!! :)
This news will make Albert very happy as I am a hater of the peanut butter and he is a lover
Hahaha....I HATE peanut butter....it isn't even food to me so that's definitely not my angle...=-)
mmm..more good reasons to eat the delicious fibrous legume ;)
I am glad I am not one of the peanut allergists, that can't enjoy peanuts... or yeast allergists - they might want to avoid peanuts too (supposedly there is some yeast on peanuts, similar to the yeast on grapes...)
