peanut
Let an agent explain the peanut, relay botany, cultivation, food uses, allergy and safety from agricultural and allergy sources, route anaphylaxis to emergency services and allergy prevention questions to clinicians, describe the named product, and distinguish peanuts from tree nuts, other legumes and peanut products.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain the peanut, relay botany, cultivation, food uses, allergy and safety from agricultural and allergy sources, route anaphylaxis to emergency services and allergy prevention questions to clinicians, describe the named product, and distinguish peanuts from tree nuts, other legumes and peanut products.
The peanut plant, Arachis hypogaea, an annual legume native to South America whose pods develop underground after flowers bend into the soil, a process called geocarpy, grown worldwide with China, India, Nigeria and the United States among the largest producers, for edible seeds eaten roasted, as peanut butter and oil, and in products such as honey roasted peanuts; peanut allergy can cause life-threatening anaphylaxis, research such as the LEAP trial published in 2015 led to guidance on early introduction for some infants, and peanuts can carry aflatoxins.
What it is for: Food, oil and feed.
It can be explain botany and cultivation; relay food uses; relay allergy and aflatoxin safety; route allergy emergencies.
