About Peanuts
The peanut, also known as the groundnut, goober or monkey nut (UK), is a legume crop grown mainly for its edible seeds. It is widely grown in the tropics and subtropics, being important to both small and large commercial producers. It is classified as both a grain legume and due to its high oil content, an oil crop.
World annual production of shelled peanuts was 44 million tonnes in 2016, led by China with 38% of the world total.
Atypically among crop plants, peanut pods develop underground rather than aboveground. It is this characteristic that the botanist Linnaeus used to assign the specific name hypogaea, which means "under the earth."
