For the
Farm Wife and
Peanuts are Good in Main Dishes,
Soups and Variety of Vegetables
Peanuts belong to the pea-and
bean family, the legumes they
aren’t really nuts at all. But like
nuts, they’re always popular in
salads and sandwiches, cookies
and dessert as well as just
plain salted. And like peas and
beans, peanuts are good n main
dishes, m soups, and in combina
tion with other vegetables.
Because of their high food
value, peanuts and peanut butter
are well worth a place in every
day menus. The idea of using
them often in family meals is
nutritionally sound for the fol
lowing reasons;
1. Peanuts are exceptionally
high in niacin, are important
also for other B vitamins.
2. Among the vegetable foods
peanuts rate high in quantity
of protein. For efficient use of

peanut protein, some high-qual
ity protein food such as meat
eggs, or milk should be eaten at
the same meal.
3. The high fat® content of
peanuts makes them a good
source of food energy
COOKING
PEANUTS In many salads
and desserts peanuts -may be used
whole or in halves. For most
other dishes you’ll need to chop
the peanut. Use a knife or run
the peanuts through the coarse
plate on the food chopper.
Peanuts take up moisture read
ily. When you want all of their
crispness, as in salads and sauces,
don’t mix the peanuts with the
other ingredient until just before
serving.
PEANUT BUTTER Peanul
butter is made in different grinds
The types usually found on the
market are regular grind (fine
to medium) and coarse or chunky
Some peanut butters are just
ground roasted peanuts plus salt,
to others stabilizers have been
added in order to retard oil sep
aration
In recipes calling for peanut
butter any kind of peanut butter
that you like may be used For
a smooth texture, use a fine
grind, of course; for an interest
mg “broken nut” effect, use a
coarse grind
Because peanut butter is sc
high in fat, it can be used as
part of the shortening in breads
cakes, and pastries, and will add
to the richness of main dishes
302 N. GEORGE ST
Keep peanuts in tightly closed
'containers in the- refrigerator so
they’ll stay crisp and retain their
flavor. Peanut butter, too, keeps
best in the refrigerator. Because
peanut butter stiffens in a cold
place, remove it from the refrig
erator a shout time before using
to allow it to soften
Following are some recipes
using peanuts. The recipes call
for salted peanuts. If you use
unsalted peanuts, you will need to
increase the salt m the recipes.
