History of National Peanut Month
The National Peanut Board established National Peanut Month. It coincides with Nutrition Month, which is no surprise! The peanut is chock-full of minerals and vitamins, having over 30 vitamins in all!
Nearly 8000 years ago, in Peru, we discovered the first evidence of these wonderful legumes being farmed. When the conquistadors came to Tenochtitlan, they discovered peanuts portrayed in art and sold them for sale. From there, traders in Europe carried the peanut over the world, and it is now grown in practically every environment that fits it.
We can find peanuts in a variety of recipes around the world,
ranging from simple snacks to appetizers, main courses, and even desserts. Bamba Puffs, a Cheez Doodle-like snack popular in Israel, are essentially the same snack. The flavor this with peanut butter instead of cheese.
It’s not uncommon in the American South to put a handful of peanuts in a bottle of coke for flavoring; the flavor is the perfect balance of salty, sweet, fizzy, and crunchy. These tiny legumes do have a lot to give.
