Peanut harvest in the pot - or even in the vegetable bed! Peanuts have a delicious flavour, grated as a spread or in sauces to meat and vegetable dishes. The young leaves can be prepared like vegetables.
Traditionally, the peanut was used in African and Asian communities, for example as an aphrodisiac. Peanuts are rich in oil and protein. Especially for vegans, the vitamins and the b-complex contained are very important.

If you want to freshly consume the peanuts grown as seeds, you'll first have to dry them for 20 minutes at 150°C in the oven. Apart from the functional characteristics, the plant simply looks great with its beautiful leaves and blossoms.

Growing advice

Sowing depth:	2-3 cm
Planting distance:	20 cm
Row spacing:	20 cm
Sunlight:	Full sun
Germination time:	5-10 days
Germination temperature:	18-24° C
When to sow outdoors:	June

First, the seeds have to be taken out of the pods. Then, water the seeds in warm water for 12 hours and sow them in a warm greenhouse or under plastic in spring. They germinate after 2 weeks and should be separated when they are 4cm tall.

For outdoor use, the plantlets should only be placed outside after the last frost and protected against the wind and cold with a cloth. The plant loves to grow in rich, well-drained soil in a very warm, dry, and sunny location.

If all of those conditions are fulfilled, direct sowing of the seeds in the bed is possible from June. However, pre-culture is better in any case - strong peanut plantlets can also ripe in Middle-European gardens.
