Only 15 more of Bean Box 6! Here is Bean Box 5 Part 2 – PEANUTS Peanuts - Arachis hypogaea Impress people at a party: Peanuts have cleistogamous flowers. Which means they have flowers that never open and are self fertile. It is their cleistogamous flowers underground , another fun word: geocarpy, that produce the pea-nut that we eat. Peanuts are incredibly common and industrially grown around the planet. Originating in South America, after the Great Exchange (a term related to “Columbian Exchange” that de-centers Europe since that’s a very myopic perspective) peanuts exploded in popularity. https://beanyear.com/2025/12/31/only-15-more-of-bean-box-6-here-is-bean-box-5-part-2-peanuts/
