Mercadona once again attends to the requests of all types of consumers from its supermarket chains. On this occasion, it is the group of athletes as well as lovers of healthy living, who have long clamored for the arrival of one of the most anticipated products: defatted peanut powder.This type of product was already on sale in a few selected establishments of the company, as an initial test, but its success has led the company to give the green light to its total distribution worldwide.
The defatted peanut powder thus joins the already existing range within the chain directed by Juan Roig which is based onhigh protein products.
Very high protein content and low in fat
User demands have not gone unheeded and defatted peanut powder is now available throughout the peninsula.Defatted peanut powder is marketed under Mercadona’s own brand, Hacendado , and consists of peanut flour obtained from totally defatted roasted peanuts.
Its preparation allows its consumption to lead to an incredible reduction in fat, given that roasted peanuts in their purest form contain up to 70% more fatcompared to the new Mercadona product. But it is not only this that has led many consumers to request its general distribution, but also that it contains a high protein content, essential in certain diets and sports routines.
Not surprisingly, this defatted peanut has a value of 14 grams of protein, only 4 grams of fat and 125 kilocalories, in addition to 6.3 grams of carbohydrates, for every 30 grams of product.
Another of the most advantageous characteristics of the product marketed under the Hacendado brand is its low price,in comparison with the same products from brands specialized in healthy living or the fitness sector. As a result of all of the above, the package of defatted peanut powder is now on sale in all physical establishments and online stores, in 200-gram format at a price of 3 euros.
Athletes and lovers of healthy living give various uses to this flour. To begin with , it is a good complement to drinks or yogurts and, on other occasions, it is even widely used for the preparation of authentic low-calorie cakes or pancakes. Hacendado widens its range of products high in protein and low in fat in a big way, and its defatted peanut powder joins other products already available such as multi-flavored protein drinks or protein yogurts, also available in various flavors such as banana or strawberry.
