The Intriguing World of Peanuts
Are there any true nuts out there? Contrary to their misleading name, peanuts do not belong to the nut family. Instead, they are legumes, categorizing them as a vegetable. Interestingly, their growth pattern mirrors that of potatoes.
The cultivation cycle of peanuts typically spans around 120 days, at the end of which they are ripe for harvest. A clear indication of their readiness is the emergence of stunning, yellow blossoms that punctuate the soil surface. As with numerous other plants, peanuts thrive best in the warmth and humidity of tropical climates, which catalyzes their growth potential.
