Did you know that peanuts are legumes?

People are often surprised when they find out that peanuts belong to the bean and legume family. Unlike tree nuts that grow above the ground, peanuts grow below the ground which makes them more closely related to legumes, such as peas and lentils.

While peanuts are technically considered a legume, their nutritional composition is more similar to a tree nut, such as an almond, cashew or walnut. Due to the nutritional composition of peanuts, the Australian Dietary Guidelines groups them with other tree nuts and seeds, rather than legumes. Australians are encouraged to eat a variety of nuts and seeds as part of a healthy well-balanced diet. Simply Nuts natural peanut butter can be incorporated into your everyday diet as a nutritious addition.
