Peanuts and Health Concerns Salt Would someone please add the following info I can t edit this article due to my recent registration Peanuts often have added salt which can add extra sodium to an already high sodium diet For example a daily serving of 30 g of roasted peanuts accounts for 7 5 of recommended salt intake in the UK Reducing salt intake around the world by 15 per cent could prevent almost nine million deaths between 2006 and 2015 says a new British study Consuming unsalted peanuts is considered to be a healthier option in countries with high salt consumption sources
