The Peanut

what Is tho food value OF the peanut
The peanut is a highly nutritious food,
although botanicaly not properly classed
as a nut. The peanut Is in chemical COM
position very closely allied 10 nuts, not
withstandinE that 1t is produced by a plant
which is botanical,y associated with peas,
beans and other legumes. The peanut is
rich in protein and fats. A pound Of pea
nuts contains two-fifths as much fat ms a
pound Of butter and fifty per cent more
protein than n pound Of ordinary beefsteak.
It's total food value is nearly 1000 calories
TO the pound, a food value which ls equaled
only by those fOodstuffs which furnish
nutriment in the most concentrated form,
the true nuts.
Recent experiments conducted by the
United States Bureau Of Chemistry have
shown that the protein furnished by the
peanut Is of very high value In nutrition.
The peanut supplies kind Of protein which
Is deficient in nearly all cereals and other
seeds II is for this reason that peanut
cake has been found go valuable as an
addition to cereals I'm the feeding Of ami
mails. The peanut is likely to prove equally
valuable as a human nutrient.
The peanut is rapidly growing In public
estimation as n food. This country now
produces more than $5OOOO,000 worth Of
peanuts annually, whereas n few years ago
the annual production was less than one
fourth ms much. Much land that was form
erly used in raising cotton is now devoted
to the culture of the peanut.
