Fan County Peanuts

　　Peanuts, also known as the seeds of the peanut plant (commonly referred to as peanut kernels), are also called longevity fruit, long fruit, foreign beans, figs, ground fruit, or Chinese beans.

Peanuts are nourishing and beneficial to health, helping to prolong life, which is why they are commonly known as "longevity fruit" among the people. Along with soybeans, they are hailed as "plant meat" or "meat among vegetables." The nutritional value of peanuts is higher than that of staple grains, and they can rival animal-based foods such as eggs, milk, and meat. They contain a large amount of protein and fat, especially a high level of unsaturated fatty acids, making them very suitable for producing various nutritious foods.

There is now also a type of colored peanut, also known as multicolored peanuts, multi-color peanuts, or rainbow peanuts.

Colored peanuts are produced when ordinary peanuts develop variations in the color of their seed coat, resulting in multiple colors. Colored peanuts are mainly divided into several varieties, such as selenium-rich black peanuts, white jade peanuts, and pearl peanuts. Based on the color of the seed coat, they can be further categorized into black, purple-black, white, purplish-red, red-and-white, and multicolored grain types. Rainbow peanuts come in colors such as black, snow white, white with red patterns, black with yellow patterns, and yellow with black patterns. The vines they grow are no different from those of ordinary peanuts, except that the leaves are slightly larger. Based on kernel color, they can be classified into two-kernel black, four-kernel black, two-kernel colored, four-kernel colored, two-kernel patterned, and two-kernel white, among others.
