One of the world's most
nutritious root crops is perhaps
this country's best kept secret.
Groundnuts, about the size of golf
balls, are as tasty as potatoes and
have four times the protein. They
were not always unwanted and
forgotten, however. The Pilgrims
may not have survived their first
winter without these nutritious
nuts. And now, after some 300
years, scientists are trying to make
this wild vine vegetable a
household word, that may one day
compete with potatoes.
