Margarine[edit]
Peanuts "main ingredient of margarine"? I don't think so! I can't speak for everywhere, but in the US marge is usually mostly a corn or soy oil / water emulsion, and in Europe it's a rapeseed oil / water emulsion. The claim is reffed, but the ref is old and weak. Ef80 (talk) 15:11, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
Composition section, production scope undefined.[edit]
Composition section says:
"Ranked second [for what?] after soya beans, peanuts are the world's largest source of vegetable oil. They are the main constituent of margarine and are "produced" [rendered? sold?] commercially as salad and cooking oil. ChgoJohn (talk) 03:39, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
- Sales statistics are unsupported, with a link only to an article about Zimbabwe, not global, production. ChgoJohn (talk) 03:41, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
- All these claims are highly dubious. I suspect peanut oil was once much more important than it is today, and that corn, rapeseed, sunflower and palm oil production have all greatly increased. I don't know where I'd buy a bottle of peanut oil today even if I wanted one. Ef80 (talk) 09:58, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Carolina African Runner[edit]
I just came across this:
I was hoping to find out why peanuts would have been imported to the southern US from Africa if they are originally from the Americas. GA-RT-22 (talk) 17:21, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
2 errors in 'Cultivation' section[edit]
Hello, the 'Cultivation' section contains
one typo (after a "." the "p" of the first word of the following sentence should be "P")
and one misplaced sentence (describing the appearance of the pods, seemingly slipped in by mistake - surely really belonging to the plant description section; definitely not fitting in with the description of the harvesting process).
