Summary
This product consists of roasted peanuts, which are nutrient-dense and provide healthy fats and protein. However, the use of sunflower oil, a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, is a concern due to its potential to promote inflammation when consumed in excess. The processing level also limits the score, as it is not a minimally processed whole food.

Benefits
Rich in protein and healthy fats, peanuts support muscle growth and heart health. They also contain antioxidants that may reduce inflammation.
