NATIONAL PEANUT DAY
is the peanuttiest of days.
Native to South America, the locals
there couldn't keep this great nut
to themselves. Actually, peanuts are
not nuts. They are "legumes", like
peas, beans, and lentils.

United States farmers grow four peanut
varieties: Runner peanuts, Virginia
peanuts, Spanish peanuts, and
Valencia peanuts. Half of the peanuts
grown here in the United States are
Runner peanuts. Virginia peanuts
have larger seeds or peanuts than
other varieties. The Spanish peanuts
have a higher oil content than the
others, while the Valencia peanuts
contain three or more peanuts to the pod.

Peanuts, once called "goober peas"
are one of America's favorite snack
foods. And, its more than a snack
food. Peanuts are the main ingredient
in peanut butter. Peanuts star in a
variety of recipes, and is a topping for
countless foods and desserts. Many
Chinese recipes use peanuts in main menu items.

Peanuts once took the rap as a not so
healthy food. More recent research
suggests that peanuts can reduce
cardiovascular disease and lowers
triglycerides in the body. Peanuts are
high in protein and fiber, and are
now believed to help curb hunger,
and therefore help in diet control.

And that “eat� is the only word that if you
take the first letter and move it to the last,
it spells its past tense “ate�?
