The other day I thought to myself.. how does a peanut grow? is it like a fruit tree or are the peanuts part of the root? So I looked it up and its neither.. peanut plants grow the flowers, then lower the pod into the soil to make the peanut. I find this fascinating that I've been eating peanuts my entire life but never knew how they grew..
