| ARTICLES RELATED TO legume | | | |  legume: Encyclopedia II - Australia - CultureThe primary basis of Australian culture up until the mid-20th century was Anglo-Celtic, although distinctive Australian features had been evolving from the environment and indigenous culture. Over the past 50 years, Australian culture has been strongly influenced by American popular culture (particularly television and cinema), large-scale immigration from non-English-speaking countries, and Australia's Asian neighbours.
Australia has a long history of visual arts, starting with the cave and bark paintings of its indigenous peoples. F ...

| | | | | legume: Encyclopedia II - Peanut - Cultivation Evidence demonstrates that the peanut was domesticated in prehistoric times in South America, where wild ancestors are still found. The plant was later spread worldwide by European traders. Cultivation in North America was popularized by African Americans, who brought the Kikongo word goober.
In South America, the peanut is thought to have first grown in Argentina or Bolivia, where the most wild strains grow today.
Curiously, fossilized peanuts between 10,000 and 100,000 years old have also been found in China, along with documentary evidence that they were grown there on a large ...

| | | | | legume: Encyclopedia II - Nut fruit - Nuts vs. Seeds As mentioned in Culinary definition and uses, the term nut is sometimes used on seeds, but nuts and seeds are not the same thing. A nut is a seed, but not all seeds are nuts. A seed comes from fruit and can be removed from the fruit. A nut is a compound ovary that is both the seed and the fruit, which cannot be separated.
Besides seeds, others that are mislabeled as nuts include legume (separate hard seeds), drupe (contains endocarp which contains seeds) and capsule ...

Carver died January 5, 1943 at the age of 79 from complications (anemia) resulting from this fall.
On his grave was written the simplest and most meaningful summary of his life. He could have added fortune to fame, but caring for neither, he found happiness and honor in being helpful to the world
On July 14, 1943 [ ...

| | | | | legume: Encyclopedia II - Peanut - Uses Peanuts for edible uses account for two-thirds of the total peanut consumption in the United States. The principal uses are salted, shelled nuts, peanut butter (popular in sandwiches), peanut brittle, candy bars, and nuts that have been roasted in the shell. Salted peanuts are usually roasted in oil and packed in retail size, plastic bags or hermetically sealed cans. Dry roasted, salted peanuts are also marketed in significant quantities. The primary use of peanut butter is in the home, but large quantities are also used in the commercial ma ...

| | | | | legume: Encyclopedia II - Peanut - Allergies Although many people enjoy foods made with peanuts, some people have severe allergic reactions to peanuts. For people with peanut allergy, exposure can cause fatal anaphylactic shock. For these individuals, eating a single peanut or just breathing the dust from peanuts can cause a fatal reaction. An allergic reaction also can be triggered by eating foods that have been processed with machines that have previously processed peanuts, m ...

| | | | | legume: Encyclopedia II - Peanut - Trade The major producers/exporters of peanuts are the United States, Argentina, Sudan, Senegal, and Brazil. These five countries account for 71 % of total world exports. In recent years, the United States has been the leading exporter of peanuts. The major peanut importers are the European Union (EU), Canada, and Japan. These three areas account for 78 % of the world's imports.
Although India and China are the world's largest producers of peanuts, they account for a small part of international trade because most of their production is consumed domestically as peanut oil. Exports of peanuts from India and China are equivalent ...

| | | | | legume: Encyclopedia II - Peanut - U.S. Department of Agriculture program for peanuts George Washington Carver, an American agricultural researcher, was the first to identify more than 300 different uses for peanuts (which, contrary to popular belief, did not include peanut butter) and is generally credited with introducing peanuts to the United States food market, though even Thomas Jefferson was said to have grown peanuts in the previous century. Carver encouraged cotton farmers in Alabama to grow peanuts instead of, or in addition to cotton, because cotton had leached so much nitrogen from the soil, and one of the peanut's ...

| | | | | legume: Encyclopedia II - George Washington Carver - Later years In 1896, he was recruited to Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (today: Tuskegee University) by Booker T. Washington in Tuskegee, Alabama. He remained there for 47 years until his death in 1943.
Taking an interest in the plight of poor Southern farmers working with soil depleted by repeated crops of cotton, Carver advocated employing the nitrogen cycle by alternating cotton crops with legume planting, such as peanuts, to restore nitrogen to the soil. Thus, the cotton crop was improved and new cash crops added. He developed an agricultural extension system in Alabama to train farmers in raising these crops and an ...

He travelled to the college, but was rejected when it discovered he was black. In 1887, he was accepted to Simpson College in Indianola, as its first African-American student (some reports cite the year as 1890 and that he was, in fact, the second black student accepted at Simpson). He transferred in 1891 to Iowa State University (then Iowa State Agricultural College), where he was the firs ...

Surrounded by the Indian, Southern and Pacific oceans, Australia is separated from Asia by the Arafura and Timor seas. Australia has a total 25,760 km (16,007 mi) of coastline and claims an extensive Exclusive Economic Zone of 8,148,250 km² (3,146,057 mi²). This exlusive economic zone does not include the Australian Antarctic Territory.
Climate is highly influenced by ocean currents, including the El Niño southern oscillation, which is correlated ...

| | | | | | legume: Encyclopedia II - Fruit - Botanic fruits and culinary fruits Many foods are botanically fruits, but are treated as vegetables in cooking. These include cucurbits (e.g., squash and pumpkin), maize, tomato, cucumber, aubergine (eggplant), and sweet pepper, along with nuts, and some spices, such as allspice, nutmeg and chiles.
Rarely, culinary "fruits" are not fruits in the botanical sense. For example, rhubarb may be considered a fruit, though only the astringent stalk or petiole is edible. In the commercial world, European Union rules define carrot as a fruit for the purposes of ...

| | | | | legume: Encyclopedia II - Fruit - Seed dissemination Variations in fruit structures largely relate to dissemination (called dispersal) of the seeds they contain.
Some fruits have coats covered with spikes or hooked burrs, either to prevent themselves from being eaten by animals or to stick to the hairs of animals, using them as dispersal agents. Other fruits are elongated and flattened out naturally and so become thin, like wings or helicopter blades. This is an evolutionary mechanism to incre ...

| | | | | legume: Encyclopedia II - Endosymbiont - Symbiodinium dinoflagellate endosymbionts in marine metazoa and protists Dinoflagellate endosymbionts of the genus Symbiodinium, commonly known as zooxanthellae, are found in corals, mollusks (esp. giant clams, the Tridacna), sponges, and foraminifera. These endosymbionts drive the amazing formation of coral reefs by capturing sunlight and providing their hosts with energy for carbonate deposition.
Previously thought to be a single species, molecular phylogenetic evidence over the past couple decades has shown there to be great diversity in Symbiodinium. In some cases there is specific ...

In Japan, the consumption of cow's milk now exceeds that of soy milk. Cafés that offer soy milk tend to be foreign franchises. It is, however, almost always available at Japanese tofu shops and supermarkets.
Soy milk has increased in popularity in the West as a substitute for cow's milk. In many Western nations it is available upon request at most cafés and coffee franchises as a cow's mil ...
