    Botanically yes, peanuts are legumes and not technically beans. Calling it a legume makes me think about silage and feed. So, they are beans to me.

      Feed is food though right? I mean as long as you’re not allergic of course.

      Damn that would suck, being allergic to peanuts…

        I’ve worked harvesting alfalfa and soybeans. Both are legumes but one is considered grain for silage(feed) and the other is processed into oil.
