Groundnut

Groundnut, or moongphali, is a very important oilseed crop for India. It grows underground and its seeds are rich in cooking oil and protein. This crop needs warm weather and sandy soil to grow well. It is a main source of edible oil for Indian homes and provides food for people and animals. Groundnut also helps make the soil better for future crops, making it a valuable plant for many Indian farmers, especially in areas with less water.
