| | World Geography of the Peanut |
 | | Peanut is used for different purposes: food (raw, roasted or boiled, cooking oil), animal feed (pressings, seeds, green material, straw), and industrial raw material. |
 | | The peanut paste was used to thicken soups, stews and similar dishes, and the oil was used for culinary purposes. |
 | | Peanut oil has a better keeping quality than soybean, corn, and safflower oils and is a good source of Vitamin E. Used directly as food, peanut is a major crop for subsistence (Hammons 1982). |
