Stupid question Peanuts

[Stretchman]

It is like, getting really late for me here, but why hasn't anyone ever tried to do a protein supplement based on peanuts? They do soy, milk, and egg extracts, but no peanut stuff. I figure in one jar of peanut butter there is probably like, hundreds of grams of protein, and it is dirt cheap. I know that I would like to see peanut butter minus the fat, but that it would probably never spread. Even if you could get the knife to go through it.

Penuts are already very convenient. Other than that, their biological value is not that high, (being a plant source) so they aren't a good choice. The fat in penuts also contains more saturated fats than having a fat like olive oil, or flax oil.

Peanuts are also a very common allergin, so I dont know how well it would sell.

And good luck marketing peanuts as a premium item!
