Description

This image shows a harvest of peanuts in India. Raw and roasted peanuts are eaten as a snack food by both old and young people around the world. Peanuts are also ground to make peanut butter, and they are an important source of oil. After extraction of the oil, the peanut residue is combined with sugar and sold as a sweetmeat (peanut cake).
