Summary: "As proof that peanut is a popular food among the Filipinos, its processed products are found in almost every market, street-corner stalls, and in any public place where people gather. Regions vary in preparing the many delicious food concoctions. But most popular are boiled and roasted peanut and peanut butter. The per capita consumption of peanut remains low, which implies that it is just a minor item in the Filipino diet. This study on peanut consumption patterns is, therefore, timely. Factors that affect its low per capita consumption and its utilization must be determined. This study by Dr. Virgilio V. Garcia and his research group at the Institute of Food Science and Technology, University of the Philippines at Los Baños answered these questions. Moreover, recommendations to counteract the problems plaguing the local peanut industry were offered. All these should be considered if future government programs on peanut will be implemented." - Ramon V. Valmayor
