Consumers Say They're Eager to Eat a More Plant-Based Diet, But Need Help Understanding How, New Research Finds
/PRNewswire/ -- While most consumers say they agree with recommendations in the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans that call for eating a more plant-based diet — rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and other plant-based foods — only a third believe they're knowledgeable about how to do so.
That's one key finding in research commissioned by the National Peanut Board (NPB) that led to the creation of skinnyonnuts.com – a new web site focused on helping consumers decipher the recently released dietary guidelines and increasing their consumption of nuts and other plant-based foods.
"Americans have never been more conscious about eating nutritious foods, but they're saying they need help to turn that desire into action," explained registered dietitian Deanna Segrave-Daly.
Along with information about plant-based diets, skinnyonnuts.com features nutrition and health information, recipes and energy-boosting snack ideas. It also presents tips on eating a gluten-free diet and managing food allergies.
"When you consider that 90 percent of American pantries contain one or more jars of peanut butter, sometimes the challenge is as straightforward as connecting the dots to foods people already enjoy," said Raffaela Marie Fenn, president and managing director of the National Peanut Board. "That's precisely why we created this new site."
Among the research findings:
* While 66 percent of respondents believe they are very or generally knowledgeable about nutrition and diet overall, only 33 percent say they are very or generally knowledgeable about plant-based diets.
* 67 percent did not know that eating a more plant-based diet could help manage overeating and craving.
* 38 percent said say they're mostly or usually eating a plant-based diet today, with 68 percent admitting they definitely or probably should consume more plant-based foods.
* According to respondents, three challenges in particular make it difficult for them to eat a more plant-based diet: eating out or eating at other peoples' homes, staying with a plant-based diet and finding tasty, enjoyable foods and recipes.
* Fewer than half (41 percent) of respondents said they are very or generally knowledgeable about nuts, their nutritional value or the role they play in eating a more plant-based diet
Peanuts have over 30 nutrients and are packed with more protein than any nut —seven grams per ounce. When you combine nutrition and value, peanuts out perform all other nuts. They can be a nutrient-rich part of a tasty and healthy eating plan to help meet the USDA's 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans in a variety ways.
* Choose a variety of protein-rich foods: With seven grams of protein per serving, peanuts have the most protein of any nut.
* Reduce daily sodium intake to less than 2,300 mg per day: Peanuts are naturally low in sodium.
* Consume less than 20 grams of unsaturated fat and consume less than 300 mg per day of dietary cholesterol: Peanuts contain two grams of unsaturated fat and peanuts and peanut butter are cholesterol free.
The national opinion survey of 1,000 U.S. adults age 18 and older was conducted February 2-4, 2011 and drawn from TolunaGreenfield Online's panel of 3 million Americans. Results have a +/-3.5 percent margin of error at 95 percent confidence.
The National Peanut Board represents all USA peanut farmers and their families. Through research and marketing initiatives the Board is finding new ways to enhance production and increase consumer demand by promoting the great taste, nutrition and culinary versatility of USA-grown peanuts.

New U.S. Dietary Guidelines: Make Your Calories Count with Nutrient-Dense Peanuts
/PRNewswire/ -- The new 2010 Dietary Guidelines address the American obesity epidemic by telling consumers to "maintain calorie balance over time" and to do it by "consuming nutrient-dense foods" such as peanuts. When maintaining proper calorie balance, refined grains, solid fats, and added sugars should be replaced with nutrient dense foods. The new Dietary Guidelines explains, "A healthy eating pattern ... emphasizes nutrient-dense foods - vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fat-free or low-fat milk products, seafood, lean meats and poultry, eggs, beans and peas, and nuts and seeds."
According to USDA data, peanuts and peanut butter are 67% of the nuts eaten in the US. Consumer data highlights taste, health benefits, convenience, and affordability as the reason. Peanuts are technically a legume and contain more protein than any other nut.
For the first time, a Key Recommendation says to consider the protein package that brings good fats along with it. It says to "Replace protein foods that are higher in solid fats with choices that are lower in solid fats and calories and /or are sources of oils." The report explains, "The fats in meat, poultry, and eggs are considered solid fats, while the fats in seafood, nuts, and seeds are considered oils." A peanut butter sandwich, preferably on whole grain bread, would be a healthier option than a hamburger or a grilled cheese sandwich. Research has shown that peanut oil is similar to olive oil in reducing risk of heart disease.
According to the new Guidelines, "Consumption of a balanced variety of protein foods can contribute to improved nutrient intake and health benefits. For example, moderate evidence indicates that eating peanuts and certain tree nuts reduces risk factors for cardiovascular disease when consumed as part of a diet that is nutritionally adequate and within calorie needs." Research shows that a small, daily serving of peanuts or peanut butter can cut the risk of heart disease in half.
Peanuts and peanut butter are placed in the nutrient dense category because for 160 calories, they provide hard-to-get nutrients such as dietary fiber, potassium, folate, vitamin E, thiamin, and magnesium. There are numerous studies showing that peanuts help manage weight because of their high satiety value and consumers don't tire of them. Multiple studies show that participants who ate peanuts and peanut butter had a lower Body Mass Index (BMI) and more nutritious diets.
The Peanut Institute is a non-profit organization that supports nutrition research and develops educational programs to encourage healthful lifestyles. Learn more about peanuts and health at www.peanut-institute.org.

Southern Peanut Growers Celebrate National Peanut Month with Food Bank Donation and PB&J My Way Recipe Contest
/PRNewswire/ -- In celebration of National Peanut Month this March, Southern Peanut Growers (SPG) is launching "PB&J My Way," a national recipe contest looking for nutty new takes on the classic PB&J. For every peanut butter sandwich recipe received, SPG will donate a jar of peanut butter to hunger relief organization Feeding America.
No matter how you slice it, the PB&J is a classic. In a recent poll by SheSpeaks.com, nearly 50 percent of respondents said they opt for the traditional PB&J; 10 percent favor peanut butter and honey; 13 percent are with The King (Elvis, of course), making their peanut butter sandwich with bananas; and another 13 percent just reach for the jar, enjoying peanut butter sans the sandwich. The remaining 14 percent of respondents said their favorite peanut butter sandwich combo is unique to them - and those are the recipes "PB&J My Way" is seeking!
Easy to make and eat, a peanut butter sandwich has countless variations. Tell SPG what "PB&J My Way" means to you, and the organization will donate one jar of peanut butter to Feeding America for each recipe submitted, up to 4,000 jars. Feeding America is the nation's leading domestic hunger relief charity, providing assistance through a nationwide network of food banks.
"What better way to celebrate National Peanut Month than to provide a nutritious food to people who need it most," said Leslie Wagner, executive director, Southern Peanut Growers. "Peanut butter is cost-effective and nutritious, not to mention, delicious. With so many variations possible, we can't wait to see all the creative ways that people incorporate peanut butter into their favorite sandwiches."
To enter your favorite peanut butter sandwich recipe, visit www.peanutbutterlovers.com and submit a recipe by March 31, 2010.

Fried Chicken with Goobers
CC Note: Pass the pollo goober, ya'll.
(NAPSI)-Fried chicken may be a down-home tradition during football season, but it didn't begin in the South. Fried chicken was known as pollo fritto in Italy and Ga Xao in Vietnam before it became a culinary habit in the Southern United States.
But with food prices soaring, you can still create a delicious fried chicken dinner for friends and family on game day for less than $10. You can give your fried chicken a kick by using both ground peanuts and a special soybean and peanut frying oil blend.
To save money, your oil can be used several times as long as you don't overheat it. After cooking, cool, strain and store the oil in a cool, dark place for future use.
Peanut Fried Chicken
Ingredients:
1 1/2 gallons LouAna Southern Frying Oil
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, divided
3 teaspoons salt, divided
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup salted, dry-roasted peanuts
2 cups buttermilk, divided
2 large eggs
1 (4-pound) whole fryer chicken, cut into 6 pieces
Preparation and Cooking:
Place oil in a large fryer, Dutch oven or another thick-walled iron cooking pot with a tight-fitting lid; heat to 350°.
Combine 1 cup flour, 2 teaspoons salt and pepper in a shallow dish, stirring well with a whisk.
Place remaining 1/3 cup flour and nuts in a food processor; process until finely ground. Add peanut mixture to flour mixture, stirring well.
Combine buttermilk and eggs in a shallow dish, stirring well. Season chicken evenly with remaining 1 teaspoon salt; dredge in flour mixture. Dip chicken in buttermilk mixture; dredge in flour again.
Fry chicken in hot oil 15 minutes or until golden; move to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve immediately.
Serves four people.
