Peanut planting season

Shandong is the main peanut producing area in China. Every year in April to May, it’s the good time to sow peanuts. On the fragrant land, people first set up the border to sow seeds, then use a rake to level and spray herbicides, finally cover the plastic film, and look forward to the emergence of peanuts.

Seven or eight days later, peanuts began to sprout. At this time, if you go to the field to have a look, you can see that the peanut seedlings are showing a little, but not completely. By the middle of June, the peanuts will bloom. These inconspicuous flowers are silently breeding new fruit! With the withering of these little flowers, the "small tubes" stretch and slowly drill into the ground, then begin to expand, forming fruit. However, peanuts like to bury their fruits into the ground quietly, It's time to harvest time，they will dedicate their fruits to people. This is different from corn and apples.

The husked peanuts are full, ruddy and smooth, and taste mellow and sweet. If there are guests at home, fry a plate of peanuts, It's really a good dish for drinking! Nowadays, many non-staple foods are also inseparable from peanuts, such as moon cakes, snacks, cakes and so on. It is proved by gastronomists that peanuts have the functions of beauty, brain and longevity. No wonder some people call peanuts "longevity nuts"!
