Cooking increases net energy gain from a lipid-rich food
TL;DR: Examining the impact of cooking on the energy gained from peanuts, a lipid-rich oilseed, and compared this impact against that of nonthermal processing found that cooking consistently increased the energy gain per calorie, whereas blending had no detectable energetic benefits.
