Peanuts

Premium Peanuts: The World’s Leading Protein-Rich Oilseed and Snack Crop

Peanuts represent one of the most versatile and nutritionally valuable crops in the global agricultural market, serving as a cornerstone ingredient for food manufacturers, snack producers, oil processors, confectionery companies, and international export markets worldwide. At Alabai Gulf Producers, we specialize in providing premium-grade peanuts that combine exceptional nutritional benefits with superior quality standards for food processors, snack manufacturers, oil extraction facilities, and international export markets across North America, Europe, Asia, Middle East, and beyond.

Exceptional Nutritional Profile and Health Benefits

Peanuts are exceptionally nutritious among plant proteins, containing approximately 25-30% protein content and 40-50% oil content by dry weight, making them an outstanding source of plant-based protein and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. These groundnuts provide complete amino acid profiles with high levels of arginine, niacin, and folate, making them valuable for human nutrition and specialized food applications worldwide.

A 100-gram serving of raw peanuts contains approximately 567 calories, 25.8 grams of protein, 16.1 grams of carbohydrates, and 49.2 grams of fat (primarily monounsaturated and polyunsaturated). Peanuts are an excellent source of niacin, providing 89% of the Daily Value, and serve as exceptional sources of folate, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and vitamin E. The high fiber content (8.5 grams per 100g) supports digestive health and cardiovascular wellness.

The nutritional superiority of peanuts includes significant levels of resveratrol, the same antioxidant compound found in red wine, providing cardiovascular protection and anti-inflammatory benefits. These bioactive compounds, combined with high levels of vitamin E and healthy fats, make peanuts exceptional for heart health and disease prevention applications.

Peanuts contain exceptional levels of coenzyme Q10, arginine for cardiovascular health, and beneficial plant sterols that help reduce cholesterol levels. The monounsaturated fat content, primarily oleic acid, supports healthy cholesterol profiles while providing sustained energy and essential fatty acids for optimal health.
