2. Some notes when eating boiled peanuts
– Do not eat too much: Although good, eating a lot of boiled peanuts (over 50g/day) can cause weight gain, digestive disorders or fat accumulation.

– Do not eat peanuts that show signs of mold: Moldy peanuts contain aflatoxin – a very strong carcinogen.
– People who are taking blood thinners should consult a doctor before eating a lot of peanuts, because vitamin E and some substances in peanuts can affect blood clotting.
