Roasted and salted peanuts are the most widely consumed nut snack in the UK. They retain peanuts' excellent protein, monounsaturated fat, niacin, and folate with Maillard-enhanced flavour from roasting, but contain added sodium that should be accounted for in daily salt intake. Peanut is a major allergen.
A 30g portion is a standard serving; salty palatability makes it easy to eat more. Unsalted dry-roasted peanuts are nutritionally equivalent without the sodium burden.

* % Daily Value is the proportion of an adult
EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) supplied by 100g of this food.
NRVs are the labelling standard — the same basis as the “%RI” figures printed on
food packaging — so these percentages are directly comparable with a shop label.
They are a single adult figure and do not vary by age or sex, which is why they
sometimes differ from UK dietary reference values: the NRV for vitamin C is 80mg
where the UK RNI is 40mg. When Nutriofia assesses your own intake in the
reports and trackers, it uses the age- and sex-specific UK values instead.
Fibre is shown without a percentage. Our fibre values use the UK
Englyst NSP method, while the published 30g daily goal is an AOAC figure — the two
are measured differently and a single percentage would mislead.
