Abstract :Peanut (Arachis Hypogaea) is one of the most consumed oilseeds worldwide. The composition of peanuts can vary depending on genotypes, developmental stages, and environmental factors. Peanuts contain nutrients such as fats, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins-minerals, fiber, insoluble polysaccharides (cellulose and hemicellulose), and soluble oligosaccharides (raffinose, stachyose, and verbascose). Additionally, they are rich in bioactive compounds such as phenolics, flavonoids, polyphenols, and resveratrol. Peanuts are thought to provide potential health benefits due to their rich nutritional value. This study aimed to examine the possible health effects of peanuts on cognitive functions, memory, cardiovascular diseases, and obesity.Keywords : Yer fıstığı, Sağlık yararları, Fonksiyonel besinler
