| Mui Wo farmer holds bunch of fresh peanuts |
He recently took several pictures and videos of his neighbourhood to show me.
Aside from showing off his new blue bicycle, the path he walked on was very clean, as in it was cleared of debris. Another was a doggy parlour, where the dogs posed post-spa/haircut to show them off.
And then one of the pictures showed a hand holding a bunch of peanuts that were harvested from the earth.
It turns out Lantau is a good place to grow crops like rice, sweet potato, taro, red onions, and peanuts!
Peanuts are grown under the ground, similar to carrots.
When the peanuts are ready, they are harvested from the ground and then dried before they can be shelled by the consumer, or they are dried and then shelled before being sold or processed into products like peanut oil, peanut butter, or seasoned with salt to package into snack food.
