DESCRIPTION:

National Peanut Day honors the versatile food.

Peanuts are legumes, a vegetable, and a part of the pea family. Despite their name, they are not nuts.

According to fossils, peanuts originated in the Zaña Valley of northern Peru about 8,500 years ago, though they've changed from their original consistency through cultivation. By the 15th century, the legume was grown throughout Central and South America and The Caribbean; Spanish and Portuguese explorers brought peanuts to Africa, Europe, and Asia. Eventually, they were introduced to North America through African slaves in the 1700s.

Today, nearly 50 million metric tons of peanuts are grown annually, with 50% cultivated in three countries: China, India, and Nigeria. Sudan is the fourth largest producer, followed by the United States at number five.

Peanuts are packed with protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, making them a nutritious and affordable staple. Therefore, the next time someone tells you to "Eat your vegetables," pop a peanut. Dry roasted, raw or buttery, veggies never tasted so good!
