peanuts are not nuts
what is & what isn't a nut?
Nuts are generally the seeds or extensions of fruits, encased in a hard outer shell, and grow on flowering upright trees or shrubs. One common misconception about nuts is that peanuts are one of them. Well, peanuts may be crazy, but they certainly aren't nuts; peanuts are in fact legumes, like beans or peas (edible seeds that grow inside pods), and grow underground. http://www.askmen.com/sports/foodcou...ting_well.html |

Peanuts Aren't Nuts
Yep you are correct.
They are tubers! Potatoes which produce oil and protein. So just remember when eating peanuts you really eating a renegade potatoe. Keith |

Brother Bob
Did you hear about the city kid and the country boy walking down a country lane. Laying in the ditch on the side of the road was a bunch of used milk cartons. The city kid wanting to impress his country friend looked at those cartons for a while then he said, "I'd recognize a cow's nest anywhere."
Yep, Peanuts come from little bowls alright, and cows lay cartons. Keith |
