==History==
Considered botanically, peanuts are not nuts at all but beans, and were already known in prehistoric times. They come from South America and, long before Columbus arrived there, reached the North American continent via Brazil. In the Southwest they were first cultivated as pig and hen feed. Slaves regularly ate them and called them 'goobers'. As late as the American Civil War, the Yankees started to use peanuts to feed their soldiers. At the end of the 1880s, T. P. Barnum offered small bags of peanuts as snacks during the increasingly popular circus performances of the time.

The peanut is, botanically speaking, not a nut at all, but a bean. Originally, the peanut came from Brazil. In the US, it had to satisfy soldiers'  hunger during the Civil War.\nInitially used as pig feed, the peanut is now a popular snack with humans too.
