In March during National Peanut Month , join the celebration featuring one of America’s favorite snack foods. This little legume is a powerhouse of flavor and versatility. Humans have been consuming peanuts since around 1400 BC. Also known as groundnuts, the peanut grows underground and belongs to the Leguminosae family which includes peas and beans.
