Raw Peanuts have a lot of fat, something like almost 50% by weight. A significant portion of which is omega-6 and with no omega-3’s. While something like 20-25% of the fat in raw peanuts won’t be absorbed (the absorption rate increases with processing), packing on omega-6 is not desirable due to the metabolism suppression effects of certain omega-6s like linoleic acid.
Probably not what people want.
