Peanut Butter
Americans love to eat peanut butter, but what is it? It is a thick, creamy paste. You buy it in a jar at the grocery store. Manufacturers roast peanuts and take off the skin. Then they grind them into a thick paste —that's peanut butter!
美国人喜欢吃花生酱，但花生酱是什么呢？它是一种厚厚的、奶油色的糊状物。你可以在杂货店一罐一罐地买。生产商把花生烘干、去皮，然后把花生磨碎成厚厚的糊状物。
The peanut is not really a nut, but a pea. It is a strange pea because it grows underground. But peanut plants also have green vines with yellow flowers. These vines or stems grow above the ground and are quite long．
