30g of peanuts supplies 29% (2.6mg) of the RDI level of 9mg of vitamin E. Vitamin E from food sources has been found to reduce the risk of heart disease according to a study in the New England Journal of Medicine, May, 1996.

30g of peanuts contains approximately 73 micrograms of resveratrol. A naturally occurring plant compound or phytochemical, resveratrols presence in red wine has been associated with reduced cardiovascular disease and has been credited as the factor in the "French Paradox" (despite a high fat diet, the French have a surprisingly low rate of heart disease).

The beneficial plant fat in peanuts which is about 81% unsaturated (considered the 'good' fat) can help lower cholesterol levels when it replaces saturated animal fat in the diet.

Each 30g serving of peanuts contains 2.4g of dietary fibre.
