Americans eat 3 lbs. of peanut butter per person every year - that is enough peanut butter to spread across the base of the Grand Canyon!
And did you know peanuts grow UNDERGROUND? They form on low growing vine bushes. The plant flowers above ground, but then grow into the soil and matures into a peanut!
While at Blog Brûlée back in September, I learned straight from the mouth of The Peanut RD, Sherry Coleman, interesting facts about peanuts:
- 50% of all peanuts in the US are grown in Georgia
- Peanuts are harvested from September- November
- Peanuts are not nuts at all, they are legumes - like beans, pean, and lentils
- Recommendations on the introduction of peanuts to infants have recently changed. Click here to watch Sherry's Facebook Live on this topic.
Peanut Butter can be used for so much more than peanut butter and jelly sandwiches - which the average child will eat more than 1,500 of before graduating high school!
The following 40 healthy peanut butter recipes are great ways to utilize the peanut butter in your pantry.
