IN THE HIERARCHY of nuts, peanuts are at the bottom. Cashews, almonds, and walnuts are distinguished and healthful. Peanuts are often relegated to pub mix.

For starters, peanuts pack protein. An ounce clocks in at 164 calories and delivers 6.6 grams of protein and 2.2 grams of fiber. It’s got a smattering of trace minerals, including manganese, magnesium, and copper, plus anti-inflammatory antioxidants. And peanuts are cardioprotective—several studies have confirmed that people who regularly eat peanut butter and other nuts are less likely to develop heart disease. The concentration of nutrition is appealing, as is how easy peanuts are to digest. “Peanut butter is a universally loved sports food,” says Nancy Clark, a Boston-area nutritionist and author of Sports Nutrition Guidebook. “It’s why runners have peanut butter sandwiches for breakfast.”
