Basic info:

Peanuts are one of the most popular nuts. The nuts originated in South America with archaeological evidence showing that people in Peru and Brazil may have been eating peanuts nearly 3,500 years ago (National Peanut Board, 2015). After Europeans discovered peanuts in Brazil, they helped to spread cultivation of this nut throughout North America and Asia. Of course, at that time, people did not realize that peanuts have great nutritional benefits that make them an important part of a healthy diet.
