The power of
the peanut
Why peanuts?
Good for the planet, good for you, good for goodness' sake!
1.
They're good for the planet
Peanuts are naturally regenerative. They enrich the soil, require less water, and reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers. They don’t just take from the Earth, they give back to it.
2.
They're nutritional superheroes
Peanuts are shelf-stable, protein-packed, and calorie-dense, making them one of the most requested food banks items across the U.S. That same nutritional profile makes them the foundation of Mana’s therapeutic food, used to treat severe acute malnutrition globally.
3.
They carry a powerful legacy
Peanuts are found in lunchboxes, street food, aid missions, and survival diets around the world. They’re rooted in the work of George Washington Carver and the legacy of Black agricultural innovation, a humble legume that has nourished generations.
