meenut

meenut is a term that refers to groundnuts, also commonly known as peanuts. These legumes are native to South America and are cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. Despite their name, peanuts are not true nuts but rather a member of the pea family. They grow underground, developing from flowers that pollinate and then bend downwards to the soil.

Peanuts are a significant source of nutrition, offering protein, healthy fats, and various vitamins and minerals, including vitamin E, niacin, and folate. They are consumed in a variety of forms, such as roasted, boiled, or as peanut butter. Peanut oil is also widely used in cooking and in the production of certain cosmetic and industrial products. The cultivation of peanuts plays a vital role in the agricultural economies of many countries.
