Q. Why buy FERIDIES Virginia Peanuts?
A. You may aske yourself, why purchase FERIDIES peanuts when there are so many brands to choose from? At FERIDIES, we pride ourselves on the large size, fresh flavor and crunchy texture of our Virginia peanuts. This high quality is achieved by using the largest Virginia type peanuts available and roasting them in pure peanut oil. Peanut oil is valued as premium cooking oil because it doesn't transfer food flavor and is high in the desirable mono-unsaturated fatty acides. In addition, the peanut oil maintains that distinctive peanut taste and the healthy qualities of the peanut. No additives or preservatives are added in any of our products.
Q. Are Peanuts Healthy?
A. Yes! Peanuts are naturally cholesterol free, low in carbohydrates and low in saturated fat. They contain 0 transfats. They are rich in good (unsaturated) fats, fiber and Vitamin E. Peanuts are an excellent source of iron, copper, zinc, potassium, magnesium, selenium, and other nutrients; as well as a good source of protein and folic acid. Research has shown that peanut consumption contributes to a reduced risk of heart disease and cancer.
Peanuts are an excellent source of resveratrol, best known for its occurrence in red wine. Research shows that resveratrol may protect against arteriosclerosis, heart attack, stroke and cancer by lowering cholesterol plaque and platelet accumulation in the arteries and by preventing the growth of damaged cells in the body. The average amount of resveratrol in one ounce of peanuts is about the same as 6 cups (or 2 pounds) of grapes. Please see Nutritional Information for more details.
