Peanuts

Are they still healthy?

the fungus thing sounds like a meat industry slander to me, but I guess if you are concerned buying higher quality peanuts should reduce the risk.

I always feel fine when I rely on them for protein.

Years ago I once read in a book that peanuts and raisins were all covered in tiny microscopic mold that was very poisonous and you should never eat them, but it just sounded like more fear-mongering.

But honestly, everything we eat or have eaten is poisonous and will either make us sick or fat, it's the sad and simple truth. The Earth is very toxic from pollution and climate change so everything that's been grown in it is toxic no matter what. What makes humans think they can make Mars suitable for humans to live on when once upon a time we had that on Earth but they ruined it?

I hadn't heard anything about peanut fungus. I wonder if that's why the peanut butter grinder at the grocery store has been out of service.

(a) Salt kills (most) fungi.

(b) Peanuts are available in salted varieties.

: : Eat salted peanuts.

I prefer them covered in chocolate.

Roasting and boiling in oil also kills peanut fungi.

So, if you are afraid of peanut fungi, do not eat raw, unprocessed peanuts.

Simple.

Honey roasted is the only way I like them.

I love roasted peanuts in the shell, but they're messy.

I've never heard of peanut fungus.
I love peanuts just about any way.
All nuts actually.

Depends how they're prepared.

Natural peanut butter? Healthy. Kraft "peanut butter," not so much - it's full of icing sugar - it's more like peanut icing than peanut butter.
