Contrary to popular belief, the peanut or Arachis hypogaea is a leguminous plant of the same family as the green pea. It is considered a nut because it contains only minute amounts of water, but in fact it is biologically unrelated to either the almond or the hazelnut. It originated in the Americas and is thought to have first been cultivated as much as 4,000 to 5,000 years ago. The one thing it does have in common with other nuts is its high nutritional value.

· First and foremost, peanuts are a high protein food. With about 25% protein they have a much higher content than other nuts. This is important because vegetable proteins can complement one another. So, for example, the proteins from legumes, in this case the peanut, are a perfect complement to proteins from grains, such as those in bread.
· Of course the fat content of peanuts is extremely important. Half the fat in peanuts is made up of oleic acid and they contain traces of saturated fats. This means that in many cases peanut spread can be used to replace butter, thereby avoiding the negative effects on the cardiovascular system that butter can have.
· Its content of B-complex vitamins, especially vitamins B3 and B6, is also much greater than that of other nuts. Vitamin B6 plays a key role in many bodily processes. Among other things, it is an essential co-factor in the metabolism of proteins. By the way, people who regularly drink alcoholic beverages or who take birth control pills may require increased amounts of vitamin B6.

Peanut spread canapés
Peanut spread improves the nutritional value of bread because the proteins in the wheat perfectly complement those in the peanuts. And you can top the canapé with any other ingredient you fancy. For example, a peanut spread canapé topped with an anchovy is not only delicious, but good for your cardiovascular system too. |

Who can benefit from them?
People who have high calcium requirements
Growing children, pregnant women, premenopausal women and people who generally need extra amounts of calcium. ALMENDRINA spreads, especially the almond spread, can be ideal in these cases.
People with high cholesterol
Because of the kinds of fat and because of the phytosterols contained in nuts, these spreads can be of great help in regulating cholesterol levels.
People with cardiovascular problems
People who suffer from chronic hypertension or who have had some type of cardiovascular problem are perfect candidates for adding ALMENDRINA spreads to their regular diet.
Seniors
ALMENDRINA spreads have a very high nutritional value and are easy to use, both very important factors for seniors who often have problems with poor absorption and chewing.
Children
Children often consume products high in saturated fats and low in nutritional value. ALMENDRINA spreads have the advantage of offering high nutritional value, “good fats” and great taste.
People who need extra energy
ALMENDRINA spread provides lots of energy (500-550 kcal/100 g) and can be very beneficial to people leading very active lives, athletes, convalescents, anorexics, etc.
People suffering from digestive irregularity
Nuts provide more dietary fibre than vegetables. This is one aspect of these excellent foods that is often overlooked.
People with iron deficiency
The amount of iron in these spreads is remarkable. Although nuts are not the most potent sources of iron, they can still be considered a major help in improving iron deficiency.
Vegetarians
These spreads contribute a considerable quantity of protein to the diet and this can be of paramount importance to people who do not eat meat or fish.
Anyone who wants to maintain a balanced diet
In moderate amounts, these spreads can be the perfect solution for people who want to maintain a balanced, varied and natural diet.
