TIFTON — The Georgia Peanut Commission and Georgia Bankers Association will join forces Oct. 16-20 to promote the 47th annual Georgia Peanut Bank Week. Financial institutions and local banks across the state will offer a tribute to Georgia’s 4,000 peanut farm families and the sustainability they provide to Georgia’s state and local economies.
The 2023 theme, “Counting on Georgia Peanuts,” will showcase the affordable and nutritious peanut. Recent research studies indicate and highlight that regularly eating peanuts can reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and cancer. Individuals can reap these benefits by taking one daily ounce (about a handful) of peanuts or two tablespoons of peanut butter.
