I always thought peanuts were nuts and grew on trees. Oh how utterly, devastatingly naive I've been...

[–] sibannac@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months ago (2 children)

It's devastating that a PBJ and is a bean sandwich.

[–] guyrocket@kbin.social 14 points 7 months ago

You are a bean sandwich!

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Peanuts are not beans. They are legumes.

[–] sibannac@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Botanically yes, peanuts are legumes and not technically beans. Calling it a legume makes me think about silage and feed. So, they are beans to me.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Feed is food though right? I mean as long as you're not allergic of course.

Damn that would suck, being allergic to peanuts..

[–] sibannac@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I've worked harvesting alfalfa and soybeans. Both are legumes but one is considered grain for silage(feed) and the other is processed into oil.

My wife hates being allergic to them, and only managed to kick her love of them after a particularly bad reaction. It sucks cuz I love Reese's and have to be very careful about eating them around her. I'm just glad she's not so allergic that we can't even have it in the house....

Yeah, I mean can you imagine what squirrels would do to peanut trees? They’d mess them up. Squirrels are basically tiny chimpanzees.
