"national peanut month" news and stories

We already mentioned that we (wouldn't) be celebrating March as National Flour Month, but we certainly don't want the wrath of peanut lovers everywhere falling upon us for not recognizing it as National Peanut Month (not to be confused with November as National Peanut Butter Lovers Month). On this last day of the month, let's take a moment to identify some of this special legume's nutritional benefits: high-quality plant protein, unsaturated fat, vitamin E, minerals such as magnesium, copper, phosphorous, and zinc, B vitamins (including folate), and zero cholesterol.

We highly recommend the easiest way to commemorate this day: with a simple peanut butter sandwich, but don't let us stop you from something more elaborate like a peanut soup.
