I just came across this:

A 1690s Peanut is Reborn

I was hoping to find out why peanuts would have been imported to the southern US from Africa if they are originally from the Americas. GA-RT-22 (talk) 17:21, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2 errors in 'Cultivation' section

Hello, the 'Cultivation' section contains

one typo (after a "." the "p" of the first word of the following sentence should be "P")

and one misplaced sentence (describing the appearance of the pods, seemingly slipped in by mistake - surely really belonging to the plant description section; definitely not fitting in with the description of the harvesting process).

I fixed the typo but you'd have to be more specific about the other problem. GA-RT-22 (talk) 14:14, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A peanut, also known as a groundnut, is the fruit of Arachis hypogaea, a plant in the family Fabaceae. The peanut is classed as a grain legume rather than as a botanical nut, although in culinary and colloquial use it is generally treated as one. Uses of peanuts include consumption as a snack and in various dishes, peanut butter, and – due to its high oil content – as a vegetable oil. Peanuts cause allergic reactions in some humans. Clockwise from top left, this photograph shows a peanut with its shell cracked open, a whole unshelled peanut, an unpeeled peanut seed, a halved peeled seed, and a whole peeled seed. This picture was focus-stacked from 31 separate images.

Move to Dalbergieae, Pterocarpus clade

Peanut is within Arachis, which opens thusly:

Arachis is a genus of about 70 species of annual and perennial flowering plants in the family (Fabaceae), native to South America, and was recently assigned to the informal monophyletic Pterocarpus clade of the Dalbergieae.

it would make sense for the peanut article to be updated accordingly, no? Mr kitehead (talk) 22:25, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
