The Power of Peanuts: A Bona Fide Superfood

Peanuts are a superfood. Most everyone knows they are loaded with protein. But they are also loaded with many other nutrients. And they are super in several other ways. They rejuvenate the soil and, like soybeans, they can produce more protein per acre than all other plants. They are also environmentally and ecologically good for the planet. This week’s guest has been practicing and teaching medicine for almost 40 years. He is going to tell us about this superfood that you should be eating every day to build and sustain your health. Perhaps you eat peanuts often. But most likely you are not eating it in the way that is the most nutritious way to consume them. And those that know this secret say this way to eat them is the most delicious way to prepare them. Dr. Phillip Flexon joins us along with his daughter Lauren Marcinkoski, CEO of the Luray Peanut Company in Hardeeville, SC, just across the border from Savannah, GA. They are growing and packaging boiled peanuts and working hard to spread the gospel of this miraculous food. Tune in to be amazed at the power of peanuts, especially boiled peanuts.
