What exactly are ground peanuts?

Question

I was looking at the menu for My Thai Palace and lots of stuff says "with ground peanuts on the side" and things like that . So i was wondering what exactly it is, and what does it taste like? Does it taste like actual peanuts?

I googled it, but i'm still not really sure lol

Answer 1

Just like it says, it is ground peanuts. They could grind it course or fine to a powder. If they grind it enough it will be peanut butter.

You've seen ground coffee I am sure, just picture those granules as peanuts. Ground sugar, cinnamon, pepper, and salt. All ground. I hope that this helps you. Good Luck!

Answer 2

sounds like peanut butter to me

Answer 3

Ground peanuts is the common name for the "peanut" because it grows "underground", as opposed to almonds and walnuts which grows on "trees". By the way, a peanut is not actually a "nut", but rather a peas/bean aka legume.

Answer 4

Grind = ground.

Note that peanuts are also known as groundnuts in Asia and Africa.
