Reasons you Should be Growing Peanuts
Good For you
Peanuts are a super healthy food, rich in protein, fibre, energy, vitamins, minerals and other good things too numerous to list. You can feel good about snacking when the snack is peanuts!
Great for your Garden
Peanuts are are legumes which means they improve the soil by pulling nitrogen from the air into the soil.
They make a great companion plant to potatoes
Economics
Peanuts give you a great yield per plant for the space. Once dried, the peanuts can be stored for months in the right condition.
Environmental
Peanuts are great for the planet too. A mouthful of peanut protein consumes far less land, water, energy, fertilizer etc than a mouthful of animal protein. Peanuts are legumes (like beans), so they get their nitrogen from the air, not from a fertilizer factory that burns fossil fuels.
