Peanuts in raw diet?

Hello, I am doing a little research before taking the leap into the raw diet. I have noticed that there are a ton of recipes that utilize cashews, macadamias, almonds, pine nuts and the like, but pretty much no recipes using peanuts. Is there some reason for this?

Thanks in advance!

    Peanuts, a legume, are very susceptible to developing alphatoxin.. more than anything i know..they are very difficult to digest unless cooked.. they are bad news.. but very tasty as i recall

    Ah, OK. Thank you! It sucks because I love peanuts, but ah well, I love other nuts.
