Origin
Peanuts are native to South America, specifically the region that is now known as Brazil and Peru. They have been cultivated for thousands of years by indigenous peoples in these areas. Peanuts were introduced to North America by African slaves during the colonial era and quickly became a popular crop in the southern United States. Today, peanuts are grown in many countries around the world, including India, China, Nigeria, Indonesia, and the United States. The unsalted peanuts commonly found in grocery stores are usually sourced from various peanut-growing regions and then processed to remove the salt.
