Honey Roasted Peanuts
by A B Milling
A moderately processed peanut snack with added sugar that reduces the health benefits of the base ingredient. While peanuts provide healthy fats and protein, the honey roasting process adds significant sugar and processing that impacts blood sugar stability.
- PEANUTS – beneficial · Nutrient-dense legumes providing healthy monounsaturated fats, protein, and various vitamins and minerals, though potential aflatoxin contamination is a concern.
- EVAPORATED SUGAR CANE – controversial · Less processed than white sugar but still a concentrated sugar source that can spike blood glucose and contribute to metabolic issues when consumed regularly.
- LIGHT AMBER HONEY – controversial · Natural sweetener with trace minerals and antioxidants, but still primarily fructose and glucose that impacts blood sugar similarly to other sugars.
- POTATO STARCH – safe · Natural starch used as a coating agent and thickener, generally well-tolerated with minimal health concerns.
- SALT – safe · Essential mineral used for flavor enhancement, safe in moderate amounts but can contribute to sodium intake.
- XANTHAN GUM – safe · Fermented polysaccharide used as stabilizer and thickener, generally safe though may cause digestive upset in sensitive individuals.
