MUCH ADO ABOUT PEANUTS

I love Peanuts... But many are as blessed as I am when eating peanuts. Some try to avoid it for allergic reactions or arthritic pains. some are afraid of pimples and weight gain..

Contrary to what the name implies, peanuts are not really nuts but is actually a member of a family of legumes related to peas, lentils, chickpeas and other beans. They start growing as a ground flower that due to its heavy weight bends towards the ground and eventually burrows underground where the peanut actually matures. The veined brown shell or pod of the peanut contains two or three peanut kernels. Each oval-shaped kernel or seed is comprised of two off-white lobes that are covered by a brownish-red skin.

What i love about this foodie is that it has many uses, and is versatile not only in the kitchen but also with business. Try reading this link here.

For my sister, however, since she experiences arthritic numbness, she avoids or minimizes the intake of this fave fodie of mine..
