Ar\u00e1quide, caranga, carango, jiguba, jinguba, mandubi, mandobi, manobi, amendubi, amendo, mepinda, mancarra, manobi, mindubim and amendoim… lots of names for a nut that comes originally from South America and is cultivated by 45-year-old Ant\u00f3nio Rosa in Maria Vinagre, a small village near Aljezur in the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentina Coast Natural Park. His four hectares of agricultural land are certified. There, in the sandy soil, he cultivates the peanuts or groundnuts, unique in Portugal and Europe. His agricultural product, known as Alcagoita, is processed into the finest peanut butter. The whole process, from cultivation to processing to selling of the organically grown product, is traditional and sustainable.<\/p>\n

While the majority of Portuguese farmers apply for subsidies for major projects and monocultures, Ant\u00f3nio Rosa stressed to ECO123 that he was looking for a niche product to grow at the same time as sweet potatoes, grapes and green beans, and had found peanuts. In Portugal, he is out on his own. After harvesting, drying and roasting just over 2,000 kilos, around Christmas time he processes the nuts by grinding them finely into an even finer spread, which customers can buy at health food shops such as the Mercearia Bio (Portim\u00e3o) or Brio and BioCoop (Lisbon, Porto).<\/p>\n

The peanut plant, he tells us, is a tropical pulse closely related to the orchid, whose yellow flowers still grow on the surface in the summer but then later in the autumn grow into the ripe fruit ten centimetres underground. \u201cI always wanted to be a campon\u00eas,\u201d Ant\u00f3nio Rosa says, \u201cThere\u2019s always plenty of work, and you\u2019re happy with it, you can make ends meet and lead a calm life with no stress.\u201d<\/p>\n
