Peanuts

Peanuts are actually apart of the legume family, which is a bean family.  It is hard to think of peanuts as beans.

 

Peanuts and other nuts are known for their fiber; 1/4 cup of peanut has 4 grams of fiber and 10 grams of protein.

 

Peanuts are good to throw in a salad or add to a dessert.
