| | Peanut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Following self-pollination (peanuts are complete inbreeders), the flowers fade. | | | Peanut plant tops are used to make hay. | | | Carver encouraged cotton farmers in Alabama to grow peanuts instead of, or in addition to cotton, because cotton had leached so much nitrogen from the soil, and one of the peanut's properties as a legume is to put nitrogen back into the soil (a process known as nitrogen fixation). |

| | Peanut farms are mostly operated by family farmers who grow an average of 98 acres of peanuts each year on a 3-year rotation, usually with cotton, corn, soybeans and grass crops. | | | When the soil is not too wet or too dry (both conditions leave the peanuts stuck in the ground as the plant is pulled free), the farmer drives a tractor with a digger-shaker attachment along the rows of peanuts. | | | Peanut seeds crack the soil about 10 days after planting and grow into a green oval-leafed plant about 18 inches tall. |

| | Peanuts in Africa - The Congo Cookbook (African recipes) www.congocookbook.com - |
| | Peanut plants were soon widely cultivated throughout Africa, catching on quickly because they were similar to a plant already cultivated by Africans, the Bambara Groundnut (Vigna subterranea or Voandzeia subterranea). | | | The peanut or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) is an unusual plant because its edible seeds (which are legumes) grow and ripen underground. | | | However, peanuts are native to South America, and were cultivated in South America and the Caribbean for centuries before they were first encountered by Europeans in the early 1500s. |

| | Peanuts is perhaps the most commercially successful comic strip of all time. | | | Peanuts was first animated in 1957, for a series of automobile commercials — but the strip's actual career in that medium began in 1965, when producers Lee Mendelson and Bill Melendez made A Charlie Brown Christmas. | | | By 1955, Peanuts had attracted so much attention, it brought Schulz the first of two Reuben Awards (the second came in 1964) — and in 1978 he was named International Cartoonist of the Year by a vote of over 700 of his colleagues, worldwide. |

| | Fans of the original 10-design set were unhappy when this series was discontinued; the 50th anniversary design that replaced them did not allow use of the 12 "woodcuts" that formerly appeared in the upper left corner of each check; we were limited to the "50th anniversary" logo that appears on each one. | | | Some newspapers also treated it rather cruelly during the first several years; the uniform, four- panel format made it possible to run the strip horizontally or vertically, or in a squarish box. | | | The first time was in the strip dated August 28, 1951, which can be seen in the first reprint collection, PEANUTS. |

| | Despite their high fat content, peanuts may be healthy again thanks to their high concentrations of antioxidants |
| | Peanuts are in the news again as being healthy - despite their high-fat levels - as researchers suggest that they may be as rich in antioxidants as many fruits. | | | The researchers' findings were part of a broader study designed to measure the nutritional differences between traditional peanut breeds and the growing number of high oleic ("good" fat) peanuts now available to peanut growers. | | | Though their concentrations are not as high as in fruits such as pomegranates, they do fall into the middle of the scale, meaning that they are about equal with blackberries and strawberries. |
