Peanuts

I quite enjoy the flavor of peanuts and many peanut based foods. Sometimes when I’m feeling lazy I’ll even have just a bunch of peanuts and call it a meal. They are nutritious, containing unsaturated fats, protein, and fibre. They are also calorie dense which is good for me because I am skinny. Peanuts are also environmentally friendly and nitrogen fixing and grow well in hot conditions making them a good sustainable food source for the future. Maybe it’s a genetic/epigenetic thing because my family is from a peanut growing region, but then again evolution is slow and their staples were rice and lentils anyway.
