explain why a peanut is not a nut
Peanut Peanuts are similar in taste and nutritional profile to tree nuts such as walnuts and almonds, and as a culinary nut are often served in similar ways in Western cuisines. The botanical definition of a "nut" is a fruit whose ovary wall becomes very hard at maturity. Using this criterion, the peanut is not a true nut,[6] but rather a legume. However, for culinary purposes and in common English language usage, peanuts are usually referred to as nuts.
Chickpea The chickpea or chick pea (Cicer arietinum) is a legume of the family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae.[2][3] Its different types are variously known as gram[4][5] or Bengal gram,[5] garbanzo[5] or garbanzo bean, and Egyptian pea.[4] Its seeds are high in protein. It is one of the earliest cultivated legumes: 7500-year-old remains have been found in the Middle East.[6][7] In 2016, India produced 64% of the world's total chickpeas.[8]
