Nearly half of peanuts in the US are grown in Georgia, where there are about 14,000 farms and 4,500 peanut farmers, with Sylvester being the peanut capital. There are four main types of peanuts - Runner, Spanish, Valencia, and Virginia - which are used for products like peanut butter, candies, oil, and roasted shells. Famous scientist George Washington Carver created over 300 uses for peanuts such as coffee, ink, and other household items.
