Why do most peanuts come two nuts to one shell?!
Why do most peanuts come two nuts to one shell?
just wondering about this last night, wondered if anyone had any idea?
Answers:
Heaven help me, I just read through the entire Wikipedia article about peanuts...and there's no Answer as to why peanuts usually have 2 nuts per shell. It was mentioned, however, that TYPICALLY peanuts contain between 1 and 4 nuts per shell (sometimes 5, although this is quite rare). So, I suppose that 2 is average, and the peanuts we normally encounter are "average" peanuts.
On a side note, though: I think Tutto Bene's Answer is pretty damn funny.
Yeh, its sort of the same with men too huh?
I guess because God wanted you to get more for your effort..shelling a nut,and the aggravation that comes with it and only getting ONE would be maddening...I suppose...lol!
