Peanuts are a very healthy treat, so it means peanut butter is healthy, too. (I have a recipe to make peanut butter.)Did you know that the Inca Indians were the first people to make peanut butter? And did you know that Dr. John Harvey Kellogg (of cereal fame) was the first to make a brand of peanut butter?
Did you know that a peanut is not a nut? It's a legume and is involved with the pea family, so that's why it's called a peanut.
The kinds of peanuts are the Runner Peanut, Spanish Peanut, Valencia Peanut and the Virginia Peanut. Peanuts are sometimes called the Goober, Groundnut, Monkeynut, Earthnut, Ground Pea, Mani {my-knee}, Fystiki {fee-stee-kee}, Cacahuete {ka-ka-wet}, Erdnuss {aird-noose} and Zemlyaney Grek {zem-ya-nay-arek}.
People with peanut allergies have to be careful, because peanuts are in so many things. Peanuts are used for a lot of stuff. And you need to know not to eat the Goofy Goober from Spongebob.
(This is from research done for a report on the peanut for school.)
