What is a PEANUTS in Nigeria?

Peanuts or groundnuts are the edible seeds of the annual legume Arachis hypogaea. They are also known as goobers, pinders, earth nuts, jumbos etc. In Nigeria they are usually harvested from about August to November and can be eaten as snacks mixed with various spices or roasted as a nice delicacy. The peanut is a valid source of protein in human food and it's come a long way from being a red hot ball thrown to the players at football games to becoming a vital ingredient for health foods around the world. It has been grown throughout tropical regions for thousands of years but today more than half its production comes from developing countries where it has been traditionally cultivated by small scale farmers using simple implements.

Many Nigerians prefer eating it roasted or boiled, but a lot of people also like eating the peanut butter sandwiches. The first time I ate a peanut butter sandwich was in my secondary school days it was something out of the ordinary for me because I've never seen any other kids eat it until one fine day my friend asked me if I want to give it a try and since then I cannot get enough of them. In addition to being consumed by humans they are fed to animals such as elephants who have been known to pass stools containing almost undigested peanuts, resulting from their fastidiousness.

Peanuts can be harvested about 90 days after planting them when they are still green but not too young to eat.
