Boiled Peanuts (1 33 Nuts)

Reduce the portion of boiled peanuts and eat them slowly; measure a smaller serving rather than eating from a large bowl.

Have boiled peanuts as part of a meal, not alone—pair them with eggs, tofu, fish, chicken, or plain unsweetened Greek yogurt.

Add non-starchy vegetables such as leafy greens, cucumber, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, or mushrooms to increase meal volume and fiber.

Avoid pairing them with carbohydrate-heavy foods or sweet drinks, including rice, bread, crackers, juice, or soda.

Choose less mature, unsweetened boiled peanuts when possible, and avoid flavored versions containing sugar, syrups, or sweet sauces.

Use your glucose readings to test smaller portions and different meal pairings; discuss recurring unexpected rises with your clinician or diabetes educator.
