A spreading annual plant, related to peas and beans. The pods vary, some may grow from one to two inches in length with one, two or three seeds. Peanuts were known in South America over 2,000 years ago. George Washington Carver, found over 300 synthetic products that could be made with peanuts, including milk, butter, cheese, coffee, flour, ink, wood stain and insulating board.

There are two types of peanuts that are available, generally known as Virginia and Spanish. The Virgina peanut has larger and longer kernels, a lower oil content and a more pronounced flavor than the Spanish peanut. Our peanut is a lot larger in size, a lot cuter, a lot smarter, and we love her a whole lot more.
