All Peanuts and Groundnuts

Gathers the legumes whose pods ripen underground and whose seeds are eaten roasted, boiled or ground into paste. It includes peanut, peanut butter, Bambara groundnut and Kersting's groundnut. The group does not cover tree nuts, which are the seeds of trees, or beans and peas grown for their dry seeds. Within the Legumes and Legume Products subcategory it sits beside the groups Soybeans and Soy Products, New World Beans, Asian and African Beans, Peas, Lentils, Chickpeas and Broad Beans, Pod Fruits, Tree Legumes and Legume Gums, and each entry is placed in the one group whose description fits it best.
