Peanuts

The food value of peanuts is impressive. Peanuts are high in fiber, and they contain 13 vitamins and 26 minerals, many of which are lacking in modern diets.

Americans eat 3 pounds of peanut butter per person every year.
Two peanut farmers have been elected President of the United States: Thomas Jefferson and Jimmy Carter.

On one acre of a peanut crop there are enough peanuts to make 30,000 peanut butter sandwiches!!
