Peanuts

A friend of mine had a vacation last month in Bohol (her hometown). When she got back, she brought me some pasalubongs and some of them are raw peanuts. I was so happy because I miss peanuts a lot, I used to eat them a lot when I was on my higher school. I was so excited to cook it, I made a boiled ones and fried ones (while writing these, im munching the fried ones). My baby loves the boiled ones while hubby loves the fried ones. My baby said "hmmm yummy erwten (green peas)" (hahaha!)

Peanuts have many uses. They are used in recipes, cooking, medicines, textile materials, made into oils, make ups, peanut butter and etc. Peanuts provides 30 essential nutrients. Amazing!
