Ground nuts

The Peanut , also known as the groundnut is a legume crop grown mainly for its edible seeds. It is widely grown in the tropics and subtropics environments, being valuable to both small and large commercial exporters. It is classified as both a grain legume and, because of its high oil content, an oil crop. Atypically among crop plants, peanut pods develop underground rather than aboveground. It is this characteristic that the botanist Linnaeus used to assign the specific name hypogaea, which means “under the earth.”
