Okay, this may paint me in a bad light, but I was fucking 40 before I learned peanuts grew underground. I ain't Joe Rogan stupid, but dang.

Nobody around here grew them (that I know of), and I never went anywhere that grew them where I would see them.

I assumed they were like any legume, growing above ground like peas or green beans.

But noooooo, they're ground nuts. Which I thought was a different plant entirely.

Out of all my damn family on both sides, visiting (and working on) various farms, nobody grew the damn things.

So, yeah.

Seeing how cashews grow is the one that fucked me up.

Explains why they cost so much.

Sometimes fruits just look like that...

You can make jam that's kind of ok with it.
