Peanuts are a leguminous plant that comes into season in autumn and originates from South America. It is believed that they were introduced to Japan from China in the 17th century.
From the perspective of Yakuzen (based on traditional Chinese medicine), peanuts help to moisten dryness in the lungs, making them an ideal food to consume in autumn when the air is dry and symptoms like dry cough tend to appear.
They also have properties that help replenish blood and stop bleeding, making them effective for conditions such as anemia and nosebleeds.

While roasted peanuts are commonly seen in stores, boiled peanuts are something you should definitely try if you get the chance. They bring out the natural sweetness of peanuts in a way that roasted ones cannot.
However, since peanuts are a common allergen, people with peanut allergies should avoid eating them.
