So far, we have called peanuts nuts, even though botanically they belong to the legume family. In the same family as green beans, soybeans and peas.
What's more unique, the fruit grows in the ground. After the flower is pollinated, the flower stalk will extend downward and push the prospective fruit into the soil until it finally develops into a pod.
So the name is "peanut", but how it grows also has its own story 😄. It turns out that the foods we often eat every day can have quite unique facts.
