földimogyoróhoz
Földimogyoróhoz is the Hungarian word for peanut. Peanuts are legumes, not true nuts, grown underground. They are a popular snack food, widely consumed raw, roasted, or as peanut butter. Peanuts are a significant source of protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals, making them a nutritious addition to many diets. Their cultivation is widespread, with major producing countries including China, India, and the United States. The peanut plant produces yellow flowers that self-pollinate and then bend downwards, burying their pods in the soil where the peanuts develop. This unique growth habit is what gives them their name. Peanuts are also a key ingredient in various cuisines globally, from Asian stir-fries to American candies. Allergies to peanuts are common and can be severe, leading to widespread awareness and precautions in food preparation and labeling. The processing of peanuts includes shelling, roasting, and grinding, with roasting enhancing their flavor and aroma. Peanut butter, a staple in many households, is made by grinding roasted peanuts into a paste.
