What does PEANUT mean in Scrabble?
noun
The edible seed of a legume plant that ripens underground, commonly roasted, salted, and eaten as a snack or ground into peanut butter and oil.
A peanut plant flowers above ground but then pushes its developing pods down into the soil to ripen, an unusual habit that gives the plant its other common name, groundnut. Despite the name, a peanut is not a true nut at all but a legume, related more closely to beans and peas than to almonds or walnuts. Peanuts are grown widely in warm climates and processed into an enormous range of foods, from roasted snacks and peanut butter to cooking oil and animal feed. The word is also used informally for a very small or trivial amount, as in working for peanuts.
