In 1941, the United States celebrated the coveted snack with National Peanut Week. Since then, that celebration has morphed into a month-long jubilee. Peanuts are a versatile source of protein that can be a savory addition to an entrée or the centerpiece of a delectable dessert.

Fun Facts About Peanuts

  • Peanuts are great for you. They’re loaded with vitamins and minerals like potassium, zinc, and iron, making them the Superfood of the legume world.
  • There are more than 300 uses for peanuts. George Washington Carver developed over 300 uses for the peanut, and that doesn’t include peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! From animal feed to colorants, paper, and even face soap, Carver’s research introduced us to the many ways we can use the peanut.
  • Elephants don’t actually enjoy peanuts. They prefer grasses, small plants, and a variety of fruits like bananas.
  • Georgia is the leader in peanut production in the United States, followed by Texas and Alabama.
  • Reese’s Peanut Butter cups were originally called “Penny Cups” because in the 1930s, they only cost a penny.
