The Use Of Peanuts As A Food

George Washington Carver's most popular bulletin, How to Grow the Peanut and 105 Ways of Preparing it for Human Consumption, was first published in 1916 and was reprinted many times. It gives a short overview of peanut crop production and contains a list of recipes taken from other agricultural bulletins, cookbooks, magazines, and newspapers, such as the Peerless Cookbook, Good Housekeeping, and Berry's Fruit Recipes.

Peanuts: Genetics, Processing, and Utilization (Oilseed Monograph) presents innovations in crop productivity and processing technologies that help ensure global food security and high quality peanut products. The authors cover three central themes, modern breeding methods for development of agronomic varieties in the U.S., China, West Central Africa, and India, enhanced crop protection and quality through information from the peanut genome sequence, and state-of-the-art processing and manufacturing of products in market environments driven by consumer perception, legislation, and governmental policy. Discusses modern breeding methods and genetically diverse resources for the development of agronomic varieties in the U.S., China, India, and West Central Africa Provides enhanced crop protection and quality through the application of information and genetic tools derived from analysis of the peanut genome sequence Includes state-of-art processing and manufacture of safe, nutritious, and flavorful food products

Peanuts: Processing Technology and Product Development provides an overall review of the latest peanut and peanut-related research development worldwide, including not only peanut production and processing progress, but also peanut-related product (oil, protein) production technologies, and by-products utilization technologies (peptides, polyphenol, polysaccharide, and dietary fiber). The book focuses on technology practicability, and all the technologies introduced, have been partly or fully applied. It is a valuable book and important reference for technicians and R and D persons in the peanut processing industry, and can also be used as a reference book for professional teaching and scientific research in the field of food science and engineering. Provides the latest worldwide research in the field of peanut production and processing, incorporating the author’s research findings on new product development Presents technologies that have already been partly or fully applied in the peanut industry, providing effective guidance for the processing of peanuts and their by-products Includes topics on peanut production, peanut research progress, main peanut components, raw material quality evaluation, processing and utilization of peanut products (oil, protein), and by-products (peptide, polyphenol, polysaccharide, dietary fiber)

Excerpt from The Uses of the Peanut on the Home Table The Uses of the Peanut on the Home Table The peanut is not a nut. We have too often thought of the peanut as a part of the circus or street parade, and have been misled by the latter half of its name and used it as we would nuts. The peanut is not a nut. It is a pea, and belongs to the same family as the common pea and bean. The term nut was applied to it on account of its flavor, which is similar to that of many of the true nuts. The object of this bulletin is to point out the true food value of the peanut and to show how it can be used in our dietary. The composition of the peanut. The peanut deserves to hold the same high rank among the foodstuffs used by man as do beans and other peas. Peanuts, like peas and beans, are a concentrated food. They contain more fat and less starch than the other legumes, but have about the same amount of protein, or muscle building food. The diagrams illustrate the comparative composition of these various legumes. The high value of the peanut as a muscle building food. As indicated by the diagrams, the legumes have a high nutritive value and contain a large percent of protein or muscle building substance. Few of our vegetable foodstuffs contain more than 10 percent to 15 percent protein, while the legumes have from 20 percent to 30 percent in their many varieties. The protein, or muscle building food, is a daily necessity in our diet and in the form of meat or eggs or cheese, is one of the most expensive food substances. The use of the peanut which is so rich in protein is therefore strongly to be recommended to those to whom economy is important. It is, especially when raised at home, a comparatively cheap source of protein. The following diagram illustrates the food value and economy of the peanut compared with other staple foods.

Americans spoon it out of the jar, eat it in sandwiches by itself or with its bread-fellow jelly, and devour it with foods ranging from celery and raisins ("ants on a log") to a grilled sandwich with bacon and bananas (the classic "Elvis"). Peanut butter is used to flavor candy, ice cream, cookies, cereal, and a wide variety of other foods. It is a deeply ingrained staple of American childhood and cuisine. Creamy and Crunchy features the stories of Jif, Skippy, and Peter Pan; the resurgence of natural or old-fashioned peanut butter; the five ways today's product is different from the original; the plight of black peanut farmers; the role of peanut butter in fighting Third-World hunger; and the Salmonella outbreaks of 2007 and 2009. The story of peanut butter is the story of twentieth-century America, and Jon Krampner writes its first popular history, rich with anecdotes and facts culled from interviews, research, travels in the peanut-growing regions of the South, and recipes.
