Peanuts are not Nuts?
Did you know that peanuts
contain more protein than any
other kind of nut 9 (of course, they
are not nuts at all - peanuts are
legumes ) Most common nuts are
about 10 to 25 percent protein,
peanuts, with 25 percent, are
highest And a more economical
source of protein would be hard to
find
A record peanut crop is in
dicated this year, and will be
moving into the market in
volume this month This will
assure large stocks of fresh and
processed peanuts to meet back
to-school lunch demands, and will
mean plentiful supplies for
consumers, too
A useful thing to know when
you are shopping for peanuts is
how many servings you will get
from the amount you purchase
One pound of unshelled peanuts,
for instance, gives you about 12
ounces of shelled peanuts, about 2
1-3 cups With this information
you should be able to decide how
much to buy
When buying peanuts in the
shell, remember also to choose
clean ones that are free from
splits, cracks, stains or holes Do
not buy moldy peanuts, for they
may not be safe to eat
Shelled peanuts, or nutmeats,
should be plump and fairly
uniform m color and size Limp,
rubbery, dark or shriveled
kernels may be stale.
It takes only a little
imagination to make company
fare out of plain food when you
add peanuts For instance, you
can serve sour cream with

peanuts on garden vegetables or
baked potatoes. Or add peanuts
to meat, poultry, or seafood
salads.
Try slivered or sliced peanuts
in tossed vegetables salads. For
waffles, biscuits or muffins, stir
peanuts into the blended dry
ingredients before adding liquid.
Sprinkle cupcakes with peanuts
before baking and skip the
frosting. For a spread on
crackers or celery, add finely
chopped roasted peanuts to
cream cheese that has been
blended with a little milk.

How to Buy Honeydew Melons
Buying honeydew melons can
be a real puzzle. Is it ripe? How
long will it take to ripen at home?
What does the flesh look like
when it is ripe 7
In most cases melons on
display are rarely ready to eat
Some stores may claim that
everything in sight is ripe and
ready-to-eat Others may label
individual honeydews as “ripe.”
If you are on your own, pick out
a melon that as a greenish-white
smooth rind. When a honeydew is
ready to eat it changes to an even
creamy color, has a waxy feel to
the surface, and gives off a
pleasant fruity fragrance. In
addition, there may be a slight
softening at the blossom end.
Most honeydews need to be left at
room temperature for a day or
two to fully ripen.
Honeydew melons average
from five to seven pounds each.
Their pale green, juicy flesh is
honey sweet when mature.
