As early as 1500 B.C., the Incans of Peru used peanuts as sacrificial offerings and entombed them with their mummies to aid in the spirit life. Tribes in central Brazil also ground peanuts with maize to make a drink. Today, thanks to the early explorers, peanut are now grown in tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world. The Spanish explorers discovered the peanut's versatility. When the Spaniards returned to Europe, peanuts went with them.

Peanuts are an especially good source of healthful fats, protein, and fiber. They also contain plenty of potassium, phosphorous, magnesium, and B vitamins. Despite being high in calories, peanuts are nutrient-rich and low in carbohydrates.
