General Information

Despite popular belief, peanuts do not belong in the nut family. Legumes include foods like green peas, soybeans, lentils, etc. Peanuts are thought to have originated in Brazil or Peru in South America. South American scientists have discovered 3,500-year-old earthenware painted with peanuts and shaped like peanuts.

Peanuts are the fruit of the peanut plant, which is underground. Americans began producing peanuts as a commercial crop in the early 1800s. In the United States, peanut consumption averages more than six pounds a year. Peanut butter accounts for 50 per cent of the peanuts consumed in the United States today.

Serving suggestions

It is possible to eat raw peanuts as well as blanched, roasted, boiled, deep-fried, powdered, and peanut butter. The skin contains many antioxidants and phytochemicals, making it the most nutritionally beneficial way to consume them. Peanuts and peanut butter are easy to incorporate into your diet.

You can include raw peanuts in your diet in a variety of ways.

• Snack on them – it’s simple to take a handful of peanuts.
• You can add them to salads and other foods as a condiment.
• Make homemade peanut butter or add them to a smoothie.
• As a topping for chicken recipes, they are ideal.
• You can also include them in your desserts.

Storage 

It is best to process your nuts just before use. However, if you’d like to have peanuts ready for adding your dishes, only roast raw kernels, dice, and freeze in an airtight container apart from foods with strong odours. They will keep for over a year in the freezer, and you can get the amount you need, bring them to room temperature and use them immediately.
