About Peanuts, all types, dry-roasted, with salt

Peanuts (Arachis hypogaea), also called groundnuts, are not true nuts but legumes that ripen underground in a papery shell, related to beans and lentils despite their nutty taste and satisfying crunch. One of the most popular snack foods in the world, they are eaten roasted and salted in the shell, boiled soft in the Southern tradition, or ground into creamy or crunchy peanut butter. Peanuts are nutrient-dense, packing plant protein, healthy fats, fiber, niacin, folate, and vitamin E into a small handful, which helps them satisfy hunger between meals.

Beyond snacking, they flavor Thai satay and West African stews, get pressed into cooking oil, and turn up in candy bars, granola, and sauces. The agricultural scientist George Washington Carver famously championed hundreds of uses for the crop. Peanuts are also among the most common and serious food allergens, so packaged foods carry clear labeling. Store them in a cool, dry place, or refrigerate or freeze them to keep their natural oils from turning rancid.
