More than 400 years ago, when a group of Spanish explorers crossed the ocean and set foot on the South American continent, everything was new to them. In the market in Peru, explorers found that many locals were selling a strange nut, which was a bit like a poor-growing walnut. Its shell was covered with mud and looked dirty. Although the Spaniard showed disgust, he couldn't help but peel a piece and put it in his mouth. Then they found that this kind of mud nut was actually a little delicious and sweet. They were overjoyed: they felt they had tasted their hometown.
Because nuts are a necessity for Spaniards. They like to mix nuts such as pine nuts, almonds and walnuts with rice. However, it is difficult to see these nuts here in South America. Even if it happens occasionally, the price is prohibitive. Therefore, this kind of "mud nut" dug out of the ground has become the favorite of the Spanish, who call it "Mani".
After returning home, the Spanish also brought many "manis" back to Europe. These Marni are peanuts today.
After landing in Europe, peanuts were immediately welcomed by local people, took root and sprouted, and spread to other parts of the world.
Today, peanuts are unknown in their hometown of Brazil and Peru, but they shine in foreign countries with suitable climate. India and China account for more than half of the world's peanut production. The peanut production in the United States accounts for 10% of the world.
Now, there are 100 ways to eat peanuts. Americans like peanut butter best, while Japanese use fish skin, peanuts and mustard to make flowers. China and Sichuan have spicy peanuts, and Fujian has favorite peanut soup. Such grounded nuts are really a veritable "poor dish".
