Ground Nuts

This was the first time I saw groundnuts being slowly dried out on the field after harvesting. The process takes about 2-3 weeks to allow enough moisture to escape.

Groundnuts are grown best in light, sandy soil. They require five months of warm weather. When the seed is mature, the groundnuts change colour from white to a reddish brown. The entire plant, including most of the roots, is removed from the soil during harvesting.
