Nutty for Peanuts, Part One: Roots and Routes
Podcast: Hungry for History with Eva Longoria and Maite Gomez-RejónPublished On: Thu Oct 23 2025
Description: In part one, Eva and Maite explore the peanut’s journey through Latin America, from its origins in Indigenous food traditions in South America to its spread into Mexico, the Caribbean, and eventually Asia and Africa. The tiny but mighty peanut became a key ingredient in local dishes wherever it landed, finally making its way to the American South and sparking a national obsession: peanut butter. Along the way, they talk Mexican snacks like crunchy Japanese peanuts and mazapán, and Maite is on a mission to convince Eva to become a full-on peanut lover.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
