Peanut Chronicles Unveiling a Global Culinary Connections

Peanut Chronicles Unveiling a Global Culinary Connections

The history of the peanut is a long, vibrant story that takes in almost every corner of the globe – and each country has a different story of how peanuts have wound their way into their culture.

For example, China is not only the leading producer of peanuts, but it’s also the top consuming country. The Chinese will classically serve unshelled peanuts as a Chinese New Year snack, though they are most commonly eaten raw.

In the US on the other hand, peanuts are rarely eaten raw. Peanuts are seen as more of an “ingredient”, as they are often used in cakes, confectionery, and sauces. And of course, peanut butter – which is the most commonly consumed form of peanuts in the country

India is also a country that has a love affair with the peanut. Known on Mumbai’s trains as “Timepass”, peanuts are commonly eaten on the go as a tasty snack, and as something to do while away a long journey. They are also commonly used for their oil to give dishes a nutty flavour.

Would you be surprised to learn that Nigeria consumes the same amount of peanuts as the US? The love for peanuts runs deep in Nigeria, with peanuts being a key ingredient in many of its national dishes. Donkwa, for example, is a sweet treat made from powdered maize and roasted peanuts. While kuli-kuli is a crunchy, groundnut cake spiced with powdered chilli, ginger, and onion.
