Products Details
Peanuts – Roasted, Blanched are high-quality peanuts that have undergone a roasting process to enhance their natural flavor and crunch, followed by blanching to remove the thin outer skin. This process results in clean, light-colored peanut kernels with a smooth texture and rich, nutty aroma.
The roasting step intensifies the peanuts’ taste by bringing out their characteristic roasted flavor while reducing moisture content, which helps improve shelf life. Blanching removes the reddish-brown skin, making the peanuts more visually appealing and suitable for a variety of culinary uses.
These peanuts are ideal for snacking on their own, as well as for use in confectionery, bakery products, peanut butter production, and other food manufacturing applications. They offer a healthy source of protein, natural oils, and essential nutrients, making them a popular ingredient worldwide.
The product is typically free from additives and preservatives, ensuring a natural taste. Properly stored in airtight packaging, roasted and blanched peanuts maintain freshness and flavor for extended periods.
