Is Peanuts In School Going Kids Safe Or Not?

Do peanuts make you short winded.? I heard this years ago and now I see where they are making many people

allergic and other serious problems. Many schools have banned anything even made of peanuts. They call them legumes but the classification is weak. The only requirement is that they come in a shelll that splits in half. All other legumes grow above ground except the peanut. So I was just wondering

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Such rumors about peanuts are uncalled for.
peanuts are protein rich, they are also known as poor man cashew nuts. They provide almost equivalent nutritive value as those of cashews.
I am also shocked at such a ban from school authority. Do let me know the reason if you come to know of any.

Take care

Best Regards
Dr Deepak
