Ground Nut

Ground Nut – Verkadalai, The Humble Protein Powerhouse

Ground Nut (peanut, verkadalai in Tamil) is technically a legume that grows underground – one of the most nutrient-dense and economically accessible protein sources in India. Despite their modest price, peanuts are nutritionally exceptional.

Peanuts contain high levels of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (the “good” fats), along with impressive protein content. They are also rich in niacin, folate, vitamin E, and resveratrol – the same heart-healthy compound found in red wine.

Nutritional Excellence

• High protein (26g per 100g) – excellent plant protein
• Rich in healthy monounsaturated fats for heart health
• High in niacin (B3), folate, and vitamin E
• Contains resveratrol – heart-protective compound
• Versatile – raw, roasted, boiled, as oil or butter

Use raw in cooking, roast for snacking, make peanut chutney, peanut butter, or extract oil. Sugabogam’s Ground Nut is clean, natural, and free from aflatoxin contamination.
