Announcing Cooking with Seeds Peanuts
Thursday, March 13, 2014
Am here again to host my own event Cooking with seeds, the host of this month was bit busy with her personal life and she couldnt able to guest host this months event. Obviously am hosting this months event, without any delay this months seed choice is Peanuts. You may think whether peanut is a seed or a legume,but peanut is a fruit,a seed and a legume at the same time.
Peanuts are well known as ground nuts, eventhough they have so many other names like earthnuts,monkey nuts,goober peas and pig nuts.Peanuts are not nut eventhough they looks like nuts but they are a legume.
Peanuts are rich in energy and have so many health benefits like nutrients,minerals,antioxidans,vitamins which are quite essential for our health. These nuts are excellent source of Vitamin E and minerals like manganese,copper,potassium,calcium,iron,selenium,magniesum and zinc.
If you are cooking anything with peanuts,dont forget to send me, so that many peoples around the world may learn to cook or bake with peanuts.
Peanuts either raw,cooked,roasted or as paste like peanut butter can be used.
