Peanuts

Peanuts are seeds of a leguminous plant. Peanuts are relatively cheap and high in protein even compared to other nuts. Most nuts grow on trees but peanuts are an annual plant. The way peanuts taste and the general way they are is more like a nut than like peas, beans, lentils. Therefore they are considered nuts.
