Virginia’s Peanuts
Peanuts are more than just a simple snack, they’re actually heart-healthy thanks to their generous supply of monounsaturated fats. Rich in oleic acid – the same healthy fats in olive oil – peanuts are a powerful antioxidant that can help prevent certain types of cancer, including colon cancer. They can also help prevent alzheimer’s and age-related cognitive decline. Here’s an easy way to make a simple, spicy sauce to pour over rice, drizzle over grilled meat or use as a dip.
Simple Spicy Peanut Sauce
½ cup peanuts
2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp agave nectar
½ cup water
1 tsp dried chili
1 clove garlic
Put all ingredients in a food processor and pulse to combine. Consider using peanut butter and combining in a bowl if no food processor is available.
