What Freshly Dug Peanuts Look like - Still On The Plants
Lots of people don't really know where peanuts come from. They actually grow underground.
Planting: Peanuts are typically planted in warm climates, preferably in sandy, well-drained soil. The seeds are planted about 1 to 2 inches deep and spaced several inches apart in rows.
Growth Stages: The peanut plant goes through several growth stages. It starts with seed germination, then develops into a vegetative stage where it grows leaves and stems. After about 40 to 50 days, the plant starts flowering.
Flowering: Peanuts produce bright yellow flowers, which self-pollinate. After pollination, the flowers wither, and a small peg forms at the base of the flower.
Peg Development: The peg, also known as the "pegging stage," is a unique characteristic of the peanut plant. It elongates and starts growing downwards, eventually penetrating the soil.
Peanut Formation: Once the peg penetrates the soil, it forms a structure called a "peg tip," which enlarges and develops into a pod. As the pod matures, it fills with developing peanuts.
Underground Growth: The pod, containing the developing peanuts, continues to grow underground. It's important for the soil to be loose and well-drained to allow the peanuts to develop properly without being hindered by obstacles in the soil.
Harvesting: Peanuts are typically ready for harvest about 120 to 150 days after planting, depending on the variety and growing conditions. Harvesting involves uprooting the entire plant and shaking off excess soil. The pods are then allowed to dry either in the field or in a drying facility.
Processing: Once dried, the peanuts are separated from the vines and cleaned. They can be consumed as raw peanuts or further processed into various products like peanut butter, oil, or roasted peanuts.
The underground growth of peanuts is an adaptation that protects the developing pods from environmental factors and pests, ensuring the successful production of the crop.
