Did you know
Peanut Butter is made from GROUND nuts, as versus TREE nuts, like almonds, walnuts, pecans, pistachios, and cashews.
Peanuts grow underground, unlike tree nuts, which grow on trees above ground.
Peanuts are legumes, not true nuts, belonging to the same family as peas, beans and lentils.
Peanut plants produce yellow flowers that self-pollinate (neither bugs nor butterflies needed for pollination), produce "pegs" after pollination and the flowers wilt, then grow down into the soil, dropping the fertilized seeds (no re-planting seeds), which then root and mature into peanut pods.
(Sneaky Cool!!)
Peanut butter is a nutrient-dense spread made from ground, dry-roasted peanuts, and can be made in your own kitchen, as long as grown in your garden or flower bed for home use. According op Google, commercial production requires a license!
Grow your peanuts.
Shell, Dry, Grind it it up.
Add salt (plus honey if you want it sweeter)
Healthy and home-made!
