History of Peanuts - From Slaves to Protein King
From ancient Andean soil to your gym bag — the wild, surprising history of the peanut. 58 million years in the making, born from a chance meeting of two wild plants and a busy bee, worshipped by the Inca, dismissed by Spanish conquistadors, tangled up in the slave trade, and finally saved by a scientist named George Washington Carver — this humble "nut" (which isn't even a nut) has lived more lives than you'd ever guess. Discover how a legume from a tiny Bolivian valley became a multi-billion dollar global industry. 👍 Like this video and subscribe for more surprising food history!
