Peanut butter: What is it?

Although the name "peanut" contains the word "nut," peanuts are not actually nuts! Actually, they are legumes.

Here is what Havard Health has to say on Peanut

"Even though "nut" is in its name, a peanut is actually a legume. Like soybeans, lentils, and other legumes, peanuts are edible seeds that grow in pods. Still, most people think of them as nuts, along with tree nuts such as walnuts, almonds, and hazelnuts. (Unlike other legumes, which grow on vines or shrubs, peanuts grow underground.)"

Well, Go prepare a PB&J sandwich now that you are informed.
