f March Set Aside As Peanut Munching Month Days and weeks are frequently set aside to honor people, events and even foods The friendly "goobers," peanuts, are so popular that one entire month is devoted to their special recognition. It is "March Peanut Munching ! Month," but peanut lovers i munch every month. Even though peanuts are ! often considered only as snack foods, they are important ? around the clock for high ? nutritional value and economical price. Peanuts play an increasingly im portant role in the American diet. According to the USDA, peanuts are second only to dried beans as the best {bargain for persons seeking protein in the diet. Everyone is well aware that each person requires protein. Rumor says there is enough mental stimulation in one peanut to ? produce 30 minutes of serious thinking. That may or may not ; be true, but peanuts are a good j source of important B ; vitamins in addition to the protein. North Carolina peanut < growers furnish ap proximately 12 percent of the j nation's total peanut production. It is almost ex . clusively the large podded ; Virginia-type variety which is used mainly as salted nuts, raw and roasted in the shell. The main peanut producing area, which yielded nearly $90,000,000 last year, is - primarily in the northeastern ? part of North Carolina. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches may take a lot of kidding but are enjoyed by \ young and old. Joe Sugg, > executive secretary of the | North Carolina Peanut | Growers Association, has his j own recommendation for a speedy, nutritious lunch. Spread one piece of bread with peanut butter and one with pimento cheese. Put the bread together with a big slice of onion or tomato in the middle. And lettuce, if desired. Serve with a big glass of cold milk. Joe suggests you have to try the sandwich to belive how good it is. For breakfast, spread bread with peanut butter and toast. A special treat to tempt the appetite is Peanut Cinnamon Toast. Peanut Soup is traditional in some places yet there are ! frequent requests for recipes from people who are un | familiar with this soup. There are many variations, but Quick Peanut Soup is ; satisfactory and can be made from ingredients likely to be kept on hand at home. This soup hits the spot for a quick lunch or supper. Peanut Broccoli Casserole I was a winner in one of the i peanut cooking contests. In case the family is not great on green vegetables, this dish ? should help change their ? minds.
