In hot water

Peanuts make for great, healthy snacks when you're on-the-go. Rich in healthy fat, protein, and even antioxidants, noshing on a handful is an excellent way to tide you over.

But as healthy as the peanuts you're eating are, they actually could be healthier. How? By boiling them, say the folks at Men's Health.

A study conducted at Alabama A&M University revealed that boiled peanuts contain the highest amount of antioxidants, much more so than roasted or raw. Evidently, the most antioxidants in a peanut are found in the shell, and boiling helps transfer most of them into the nut (or legume. Whatever a peanut actually is) itself.
