The king of Udupi was giving food during the war to all the soldiers.Sometimes the food is insufficient for soldiers or sometime food is surplus. He made a nightly oblation of peanuts to Lord Krishna. So, Krishna ate them. The king turned to Lord Shri Krishna for guidance to how to minimise the wastage of food.In response, the divine Krishna proposed a solution to king of Udupi. He revealed his daily ritual of consuming a handful of peanuts during the Mahabharata war.Lord Krishna said that "The number of peanuts I eat each day,“correlates to the number of soldiers felled in battle.” This revelation offered a foolproof method for the king of Udupi to ensure the amount of food supply for the warriors, minimizing waste and honoring the goddess Annapurna.Udupi kingremained neutral and served food for both Kauravas & Pandavas army, without any food shortage or wastage.

There is no notice in the antiquated Indian amazing, the Mahabharata, of Master Krishna eating peanuts during the conflict. The Mahabharata essentially centers around the incomparable Kurukshetra War, the moral and philosophical lessons of Ruler Krishna to Arjuna as the Bhagavad Gita, and the occasions paving the way to the conflict.

The presentation of peanuts (groundnuts) into the Indian subcontinent is accepted to have happened hundreds of years after the Mahabharata was made. Peanuts are local to South America and were acquainted with India a lot later, during the frontier period. In this way, any reference to Ruler Krishna eating peanuts in the Mahabharata would be generally erroneous.

In strict texts and sagas like the Mahabharata, Ruler Krishna is in many cases portrayed as drinking milk, spread (makhan), and other dairy items, as opposed to food varieties that were acquainted with the area in later times.

It means quite a bit to isolate verifiable and social realities from fantasies and legends to guarantee precise comprehension and understanding of strict and incredible stories.
