Ground/ Peanuts
Peanut seeds (kernels) grow into a green oval-leafed plant about 18 inches tall, which develop delicate yellow flowers around the lower portion of the plant. Peanuts grow underground.
Cashew Nuts
Cashews, with their unique, light taste, are harvested from a tree of the same name. Native to Brazil, and with the greatest production in India and Africa. These nuts are used in a variety of ethnic dishes and as a topping for salads and desserts. When compared to other nuts, they are lower in fat and carbohydrates.
Almond
Almond trees can be found in Asia, Europe, North America and Africa. In the United States, virtually all almonds for commercial sale are produced in California. Grocery stores may carry raw almonds for cooking, roasted almonds for snacking, ground almonds for pastes and chopped almonds for garnishes and salads.
