Hello Hive
Today's Monday was declared public holiday,so I decided to use that opportunity to visit my groundnut farm(peanut) to see the level at which it's developing,on getting to the farm I uprooted one lol and behold my groundnut is fully ready for harvesting.
It took me five good months to grow this .
Before I go further let me share little things with you about groundnut.
Groundnut (peanut) have is a very strong nutritional value, it's an excellent source of plant based protein fiber, and has many
important vitamins and minerals.
They have the following nutrients and vitamin, some of these include vitamin E, magnesium, folate, copper and Arginine.
It composition of rich protein makes it very good for people who are either trying to lose weight or trying to gain muscle strength.
It has nutritional value according to the different method in which it is use and these are some of the ways in which it is use:it can be roasted, salted,
chocolate_coasted,it is use as peanut butter, groundnut oil are also been extracted from it and it is also use in making soup in the northern part ,so they are most helpful and enjoyed when taking in a moderate quantity.
According to Studies when groundnut is taken moderately daily it is helpful in improving heart health, brain functioning,it also reduce the risk of strokes and boosts overall immunity.
He are some of the ways you can add groundnut to your daily diet; you can add paste of groundnut to your curries and soup to give it a creamy texture.
Adding it to sliced apples,bread toast,or you use it in sauce with meat delicacies also for a healthy and delicious treat.
My purpose of planting it is majorly for three reasons
One of which is to sell it in the market though I prefer selling it when dried , some sell theirs immediately after harvesting but I prefer mine dried , little portion of it will be kept for consumption for the family cause I am that kind of person that like groundnut not minding dry or fresh.
I also have few maize plant in the farm
I planted the maize there cause of the space I found in between the groundnut.
