Best Answer

[1] When planted, peanuts are grains. [2] But the plant isn't considered, or eaten as, a grain. [3] The plant produces a flower, which produces a fruit through pollination. The fruit becomes a legume, which is why the peanut's in the legume family ka Fabaceae. The legume has 1-4 seeds, and goes underground to mature as a peanut. [4] The peanut's so called, because the edible seeds of many legumes are ka peas, and because its uses fall more into line with nuts.

Peanuts are not tree nuts, but most individuals with an allergy to tree nuts also have an allergy to peanuts.

Examples of tree nuts include Walnuts, Brazil Nuts, Cashews, Pine Nuts, and Acorns!

No, a nut is a tree "fruit". Grains grow in the soil, directly. (Peanuts are lgumes, not nuts, however.)

Great answer! An easy way to tell if you're looking at a grain plant is that it will be in the grass family. Corn, wheat, oats, barley - all are plants with long sharp leaves and no branches.

Actually, the peanut is not a nut- it is a "legume"- a form of bean.
