yes. Peanuts are legumes they belong to the same family as peas and beans. When the flower is fertilized the flower dies and a long stalk grows down into the ground and the fruit (peanut) develops in the soil. Very strange.
you eat the nuts inside the shell of course.
Ground nuts grow below the soil because that's where they develop from the flowers of the peanut plant. As the peanut plant grows, the flowers send out a stalk that elongates and eventually penetrates the soil, where the peanut pods then develop. This natural process protects the developing nuts and helps them germinate.
Peanut plants prefer well-draining sandy loam soil that is loose and friable. Soil with a pH between 5.8 and 6.2 is ideal for peanut cultivation. Adequate soil fertility with a good balance of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium is important for healthy peanut plant growth.
If 'monkey nuts' = 'peanuts,' then yes, they do.
False. Peanuts start out underground, emerging from the flowers of the peanut plant and then grow underground where they mature.
The peanut was never invented. The peanut is part of a plant.
Peanut butter is made by simply grinding up 'peanuts'. Peanuts are the fruit (a pea) of the peanut plant which occur in a pod on the end of a long shoot which pushes itself underground for the peanut to develop (hence groundnut which is another name for a peanut).
every part of the peanut can be eaten apart from the shell and the actual plant:)
Peanut and corn kernel are fruits. The full peanut is a fruit, just the part you eat is the cotyledon (or seed).
The fruit of the peanut plant is the "shell" of the peanut. It is a simple, dry fruit. The peanut is considered a legume, but a legume is a type of simple fruit. The peanut itself, or the delicious part that we eat, is actually the seed of the peanut plant. So, botanically speaking, the peanut shell is the fruit and the peanut itself is the seed.
NO!Of course not. Peanut butter is made in a factory. But peanuts grow on a plant, in order to make peanut butter!
yes
yes
The first person to plant a peanut plant is Sheala McWilliams - Brigham and Alexis Wallen from Peoria, Arizona
According to Wikipedia the groundnut (peanut) has the following classifications: "Genus: Arachis Species: A. hypogaea"
No. Peanut butter comes from the peanut plant. It contains no animal products.
