groundnuts
Buried edible seeds
Groundnuts are peanuts—legumes that develop their pods underground after flowering.
The term is standard in British English and across Africa, where groundnuts are a dietary staple: groundnut soup, groundnut oil.
In American English, peanut predominates.
The name describes the plant's unusual habit of burying its fruit in the soil to mature.
