π₯π₯Itβs National Peanut Month π₯π₯
Welcome to National Peanut Month. I am told there is something in peanuts that makes them moorish, I am afraid it don't work with me, but I know people love them. You can buy them salted, unsalted and in their shells, I would imagine the most popular is salted.
Peanuts, unfortunately, do not suit everybody, and are one of the most common and violent, and sometimes fatal, allergies in the world.
Peanuts are not, in fact, a nut. They are a legume.
And this month is dedicated to this delicious little legume that is a vital part of culture and cuisine.
This month was introduced by the National Peanut Board to inform people that peanuts are packed with all sorts of nutrients and vitamins, and are one of the richest sources of antioxidants in the world, better than carrots, green tea or broccoli.
Peanuts are used all over the world as a basic snack, an appetizer, a main course, and of course, in desserts.
To celebrate this month, the best way is to simply eat some peanuts in one form or another: peanut toffee, peanut crunch, peanut butter, or just peanuts themselves. You could make the eating of peanuts last quite a few days, lol, or even try making your own peanut butter!
Ok, we will have some peanut fun!
Love them or hate them, let us know, and post anything peanut related along with our usual good fun and chit chat!
