Abstract

In India, Groundnut is considered the “king of oilseeds”. Groundnut is also called a wonder nut or poor man’s almond. It is available throughout the year due to two-crop cycles, harvested in March and October. It is one of the most important foods and cash crops of our country. While being a valuable source of all the nutrients, it is a low-priced commodity. Groundnut is particularly valued for its protein content in kernels (24-36%). On an equal weight basis (kg for kg), groundnuts contain more protein than meat and about 2 times more than eggs. Being an oilseed crop, it contains 40% to 53% oil.
