How much fiber is there in peanut shells?

Do peanut shells have much fiber in them?
I understand peanuts do, but since I eat both the peanuts and shells, I am wondering how much more fiber I am getting with the peanut shells. Thanks.

Shells have a lot of fiber in them, but it's mostly indigestible fiber; also watch out because there's aflatoxin on some peanut shells, a fungus that grows naturally on them. Roasting peanuts usually greatly reduces the toxicity of aflatoxin, but I remember a case a few years ago where a dog food company was shut down because they used peanut shells for the fiber in their dog food, and dogs died from aflatoxin poisoning. So just be careful and know that's an issue as well.
