Your Favorite Non-Nut
I know this is shocking to most people in fact this startling news fact may rewrite your entire snack history but a peanut is not a nut. It is a legume it belongs to the same family that beans do..that is all.
I guess this is a good thing to know in case it's a question on jeopardy, but other than that...I don't eat them so I'm putting that in my Random Facts books. Thx:)

This fact does not change my love for them but good to know. Why do we call them nuts then? Where does this misinformation come from?
Legume shlegume ... Maybe a peanut is the nut and all those other things are the pretenders....
Do we call them nuts because they come from shells?
