Peanuts belong to the legume family, and although peanuts are widely considered a tree nut, from a botanical point of view, peanuts are actually a seed.
A nut is a type of fruit with a hard shell, usually containing one or more seeds. Unlike other nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, and hazelnuts, peanut seeds do not have a hard shell. Instead, the seeds of peanuts are wrapped in a shell called a "pod," which is softer.
The seeds of peanuts are made up of two seed leaves that are tightly glued together to form a special structure of peanuts. When the peanuts are ripe, the pods become dry and split open, revealing the seeds. These seeds are called peanut rice, and this is the part we usually eat.
Although peanuts are not nuts in the traditional sense, they are often classified as nuts in food classification. This is because peanuts have many similarities to other nuts in their consumption, such as taste and nutritional value. Rich in protein, fat, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, peanuts are widely used in cooking, making peanut butter, and as a casual snack.
To summarize, peanuts are botanically belonging to the legume family, but are often classified as nuts in food classification. Peanuts are nutritious, delicious, and a delicacy loved by many people.
