Peanuts at the ballpark.

The domesticated peanut is an amphidiploid, meaning it has two sets of chromosomes from two different species, thought to be A. duranensis and A. ipaensis. These likely combined in the wild which gave rise to the domesticated peanut, perhaps in modern in Paraguay or Bolivia.

During expeditions on foot into the wilderness peanuts have been the deciding factor between life and death as a type of food that is dense, portable, high in protein and calories and can be eaten at any time without preparation.

That’s why we smuggle them into Samford Stadium … baseball games can go on awhile …
