Dear School Nutrition Professional,

Peanuts are a delicious and versatile food that provide a variety of vitamins and minerals in every bite, giving students the nutrients they need to live vibrant lives. The National Peanut Board created this guide to help incorporate peanuts into your school’s meals. Inside, we provide you with nutrition information and food group equivalents, inspiring recipes, and additional guidance on testing recipes and handling food allergies.

We hope you find this booklet helpful for your menu planning and foodservice operations. If you have additional questions about this content or how to best incorporate peanuts into your school menus, please reach out to our team at peanuts@ nationalpeanutboard.org. We're happy to help.

Thank you for the tireless work that you do to keep our country's children healthy and well fed!

Sincerely,
