In a nutshell, peanuts make for an extremely healthy food item and its inclusion in our daily diet helps provide several necessary minerals such as copper, selenium, zinc, magnesium and iron. Peanuts are by far the best source of plant protein, in their roasted or raw form.

Peanuts contain a very small percentage of saturated fats. The presence of saturated fats is usually what causes issues of obesity and weight gain. The fats present in peanuts are "necessary" fats that aid in proper functioning of the body. Like all plant foods, peanuts don't contain cholesterol and aid in the reduction of LDL or bad cholesterol. Unsaturated fats present in peanuts are completely harmless and are known to help prevent heart diseases.
