10 Best Keto Nuts
Keto Nut #8: Peanuts
As you probably know, the peanut is not actually a nut, but a legume related to beans and lentils. Studies have shown that diets higher in monounsaturated fats from peanuts and peanut butter can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Peanuts are also a good source of protein and have zero cholesterol.
Like most nuts, peanuts are also low in carbs, so yes, they are ketogenic. Keep in mind, though, that peanuts are also delicious and addictive; you can easily overeat them without even noticing and take in more carbs than planned. So, make sure to track your carb intake when munching on peanuts, and try to keep your intake to a handful a day.
