Arachis can be confidently called one of the most common and affordable nuts. He was highly appreciated in South America long before colonization, and then the Spanish sailors spread an unusual product. It turned out that the plant took root even in the most meager soil, and so peanuts began to grow in Africa, and behind it - in other regions.
Now in culture there are about 75 varieties, but the main ones are these 4 groups: Spanish, Valencia, Virginia and Runner. Dishes with peanuts are common primarily in America, because it was there that this ingredient was appreciated for the first time. It is added to desserts, make a peanut paste and sauces out of it, bake meat with it. Chicken and vegetables with peanuts are very popular in China.
The taste of the nut depends on the variety and the region of growth. For example, Indian and Argentinean are sweet, but Chinese are large, but fresh. Raw nuts are more piquant and original, and fried is sweeter. In some countries, peanuts are even boiled, and then it resembles beans!
