Did you ever wonder how it is a peanut grows?
Did you ever wonder why the peanut is sometimes referred to as a goober?
Did you ever wonder who first invented peanut butter?
Did you know that it takes 720 peanuts to make a one pound jar of peanut butter?
Did you know that South American Indians were the first peanut farmers?
Did you know that my Dad refused to eat peanut butter ever again after eating it everyday for two years on his mission for our church?
Well you will read all sorts of interesting things like the above (except that last tidbit, that one was free from my memory bank) in the cool kids book, "The Life and Times of the Peanut" by Charles Micucci.
It is full of fun illustrations and lots of cool and interesting facts.
And since the peanut is the 10th most important food crop in the United States and since you probably feed it to your children, you really should learn a little bit more about it.
