The composition and nutritive value of groundnut kernels

  • Chapter
The Groundnut Crop

Part of the book series: World Crop Series

Abstract

Groundnuts were originally considered to be food for animals; then they were used as food for slaves. They have now become an important source of protein in many developing countries. A summary of the important food uses of groundnuts and the fortified foods that use groundnuts or groundnut protein has been given by Singh and Singh (1991).
