What is Peanuts?

The peanut is not a nut, but a member of the pea family. Peanuts are called groundnuts, as they are a legume. Peanuts grow on vines out of the soil and have a firm and easy to crack shell. This shell is grey and indented with a gently curved, or straight and lumpy form. Inside the shell are the peanuts, with thin brown skin and tan/light brown bodies. Peanuts are small and oblong; slightly bigger than a pistachio. The flavor is unusual and nutty with a hint of sweetness. Peanuts can be roasted and salted, or used in a number of international dishes. They are a popular American snack.

salt

Salt is a mineral composed mostly of sodium chloride. It is the main flavoring used in food and is naturally occurring in certain foods, such as cheese, beets, meat and celery, plus many others. Salt is white and has finer granules than sugar. Many commercial salts include iodide, while others exclude it. Most salts are white, while some are naturally pale pink with minerals. Salt brings out the flavor of something and can create a tangy mouthfeel, if used in excess.
