High saturated fat: Roasted, salted peanuts...health food or snack food?

Question

I've been told that nuts are a healthy snack option. Does that include roasted, salted peanuts? I read the nutrition label and it seems like maybe I'm no better off with the nuts then I would be with potato chips.

Answer 1

Nuts are better for you than potato chips for sure, however, salted roast peanuts are probably not the best. I would opt for non salted nuts such as almonds.
