Why do peanuts have skin on them? They already have an outer layer of protection?

The skin deveolpes from the mesocarp of the fruit.  Not all biological features have a necssary function but I think in this case it will help keep the nut from drying out.

...they pale in comparison...\n\nThey're in the root of every solution...\n\nThey can store your lipids!\n\n...just play around with what leucoplasts do and what their characteristics are. I don't know what this commercial is supposed to be, so I don't really get what this catch phrase is supposed to cover.

There is a lot more protections built in to protect the testes than most realize, but they may not be in the design or style YOU think is protective.  The testes are EXTERNALLY located (in scrotum) to protect them from hyperthermia.  Being external is cooler and that is a protective design feature. In fact, oneis lower than the other to prevent them from getting too bumped whilenext to each other, esp between the legs. In fact, both the Dartos and Cremaster muscles help with this too, adjusting the closeness of the testes to the body based on the environmental temp, thus keeping the testicles the critcal proper temp to keep meiosis or sperm production going.  In fact, during the fight or flight mechanism, inc during climax, these muscles adjust the testes, which are pulled up close to the body to help protect them.  Some males will also tell you that the testicles can even go back up into the inguinal canal a bit so that they are protected from harshness of an uncomfortable hard surface like a bicycle seat or motocross ride on a dirt bike (hopefully not for too long, so as to prevent hyperthermia) or even to protect them from hypothermia.  Another protective device is the production of a HUGE number of sperm throughout life and per ejaculate.  A normal male can have 250-300 million sperm per ejaculate.  A huge number of sperm die with each ejaculation, only a few can survive the trip to the egg.  The testes are also covered with a very tough connective tissue called the tunica albagenia, and it helps give them their characteristic "egg" shape. Another protection is the "wet dream" mechanism.  IF a male has not ejaculated recently, an unconscious wet dream can help release some old sperm so that a fresh batch is kept ready and available.  In addiition, if a male has had too long or hot of a jacuzzi or has worn too hot-tight pants-underwear, or has been exposed to something potentially toxic in his environment, etc, this unconscious ejaculation can help get rid of a batch that might be defective or a weaker quality.  As it is, about 20% of a"normal" males sperm are visually defective under the microscope (with 2 heads or 2 or three tails, etc) but there is opportunity for new batches on a regular basis.  Female eggs, on the other hand, have the maximum number at the fetal stage and the number of her eggs is decreasing all her life.  The design of all the human body is a magnificant creation!  Thousands of mechanisms are included to keep the body in homeostasis, inc many to keep the testes and sperm protected from harm.  The chemical nature of semen is such that the sperm are protected too. There are so many protective mechanisms! The fact that they are SO sensitive is also a protective mechanism. Males keep that on their mind a lot and will usually do a lot tokeep the "family jewels" safe from damage.

Oh! my dad used to tell me that squirrels were cats, radishes were apples, and that peanut butter was made by monkeys and elephants. I believed that until I saw a Mr.rogers episode when they visited the peanut butter factory.

Peanuts always had an underlying philosophy, lesson or moral...Garfield is just a fat, selfish cat, very two dimensional.  So, Peanuts is the better comic strip in my book.

remove outer skin, peel of a layer, pulverise it in a pestle and mortar, actually look at the website, its a really good explanation!

I would have to say that the worse case I have ever heard of came from Planter's Peanuts.  They decided that it would be a great idea to give away samples of their products on all flights.  Only they found out after that 40% of people are allergic to peanut oils and by-products.  This caused a major restucturing in the airlines way of giving out freebies, as well as prompted a major push towards the reactions that peanuts were causing. Aside from this the Edsel comes to mind.

Peanuts and peanut butter contain high quality plant protein. When comparing peanuts to similar foods, peanuts have more protein than any other legume or nut. This is especially important for children, vegetarians and people eating more meatless meals.\nPeanuts and peanut butter contain mostly beneficial monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. These fats as compared to saturated fats have been shown to help lower blood cholesterol levels. Lowering your blood cholesterol level may reduce your risk of coronary heart disease.\nOne ounce, or one small handful of peanuts contains 2 grams of fiber. This is 9% of the fiber you need each day!\nOne ounce of peanuts provide 16% of your daily need of vitamin E. Vitamin E has been shown to act as an antioxidant which may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.\nPeanuts are an important source of essential minerals such as magnesium, copper, phosphorus, potassium and zinc. Some of these "hard to find" minerals such as copper and magnesium may protect against coronary heart disease.\nB vitamins such as folate can help prevent birth defects. They also reduce amounts of homocysteine in the blood that may be a risk for heart disease. Peanuts are a good source of folate.\nPhytochemicals are natural substances in plants which may provide a wide range of health benefits such as reducing the risk of coronary heart disease. Peanuts contain resveratrol which is one of the many phytochemicals found in plant foods.

Skin has several layers.  All skin has an outer layer called the stratum corneum which is composed of multiple layers of flattened, dead, interlocking keratinocytes (a type of skin cell with karatin).  Thick skin such as on the palms of the hands or the soles of the feet can have 30 or more layers of these cells.  Thick skin also has an extra layer called the stratum lucidum that looks glassy.  This layer has flattened, densely packed cells.  Most of the body is covered in thin skin.  Areas like under the eye where the skin is very thin just have thinner layers than other areas on your face.  All 4 layers normally present in thin skin are still there.

Some people are allergic to peanuts.  If you are not, they have a lot of Vitamin B and protein.\n\nI have discovered Larabars, which have simple ingredients, taste great, are satisfying and are affordable.\n\nI hike 3-10 miles five days a week, and in this cold weather the Larabar is a perfect workout food.

Typically they are protected and as the guy above said why would you want to?\n\nWhy don't you post another questions like, "How do I keep woodpecker from beating holes in my cedar siding and waking me up at 6:00 AM every morning?"\n\nHint - a product called Tangle-foot

Your skin is made up of two layers. The outer layer is called the epidermis and the lower level is the dermis. The outer layer (epidermis) produces an oily substance called sebum. You can see this substance when you touch a window or mirror and your "oily" fingerprint is left there.\n\nOne job sebum does is it keeps water out of your skin—a job that it does very well. However, after long periods of time in a swimming pool, shower, or bathtub, much of the sebum is washed off and your outer layer of skin starts to absorb water. As it absorbs water it swells, but since the epidermis is "tied" down to your dermis in certain spots, it expands more where it is not "tied" down and this causes your skin to wrinkle.\n\nThe difference between your skin and a raisin is that raisins wrinkle because they shrink, but your skin wrinkles because it is getting bigger.

All seeds are encased in some form of fruit. Fruit is anything that protects a seed. It doesn't neccessarily have to taste sweet and juicy like an apple. Nuts are a type of fruit, and they also encase seeds. Seeds are just what you said, an embryonic plant encased in a covering called the seed coat. Seeds are sort of like baby plants. They have everything that they need to grow except soil and sunlight. Now, the parents of these seeds what to protect their 'babies', so they give them more protection. They do this by wrapping the fruit around the seeds. Now, nuts are types of fruit, so they are also protecting the seeds. However, they are different from seeds. \n\nA nut is a seed, but not all seeds are nuts. A seed comes from fruit and can be removed from the fruit. A nut is a type of seed that is also a fruit, and the fruit and the seed cannot be separated (unless you're eating it).\n\nHope this helps!

Any foam peanuts or sheet they use in computer packaging will be an ESD safe foam. ESD is ElectroStatic Discharge. Normal packing peanuts give off a huge staic charge. ESD safe peanuts are made to not give off that electrical charge. They will normally be pink or blue.

"Who skins cats? Why would you skin a cat? And there is not more than one way to skin a cat, there is only one way! You grab the cat and rip the skin off. What's a number two way? Do you put a hose up the cat's butt until he gets so bloated that he skins himself? Does he have a piece of velcro under his butt there, we just unvelcro him? No."\n\nKill two birds with one stone, you heard that one? You know anybody who's actually killed one bird with one stone? Kids try it all the time, you can't hit a bird with a stone, unless you have a giant rock and a little baby bird.
