Tag: Boiled nuts

Boiling peanuts, a common practice in many cultures, can significantly alter their nutritional profile compared to other cooking methods. A recent study highlighted that boiled peanuts have nearly four times the antioxidant content of raw or roasted varieties. But is it healthy to eat boiled nuts, and do these benefits extend to all nut types?

According to a study on African walnuts, boiling can significantly decrease mineral content while also reducing anti-nutrients. So, do nuts lose nutritional value when boiled? The answer is nuanced, depending on the specific nutrient and the type of nut, but significant changes certainly occur.
