Vegans, vegetarians and peanut lovers, gather around! This book will amaze you. Agricultural scientist George W. Carver reveals more value to peanuts than anyone had ever thought existed. First he shows how to grow, harvest, and properly fertilize peanuts. Then he explains their effect on soil and how to ready them for the market. And then he goes on to present 105 recipes for peanuts. There's everything from peanut soup, cake and bread, to cakes, wafers and muffins. And there's a section dedicated to making mock meat, like chicken, veal, and sausages, using peanuts and other vegetables. Vegetarians will especially love this one. In this small and insightful book, Carver reveals nutritious facts about peanuts, and devises a healthy, satisfying, and economic diet with peanut as its main ingredient. "Of all the money crops ... perhaps there are none more promising than the peanut in its several varieties and their almost limitless possibilities."

Originally published in 1916, this innovative peanut growing guide and recipe book by prominent Black scientist George Washington Carver revolutionized African-American farming in the cotton-growing South.
