About these values

The record is dry-roasted peanuts without salt. The USDA record is "Peanuts, all types, dry-roasted, without salt" (SR Legacy, FDC ID 173806). It gives 24.35 g of protein and 587 kcal per 100 g.

Protein in a portion is its weight times the protein per 100 g, divided by 100. For 1 oz of peanuts: 28.35 × 24.35 ÷ 100 = 6.9 g. Values on this page are rounded to 0.1 g.

A packaged food's own label can differ from the USDA average. When you have the label, its numbers are the ones for that product.
