Blanched Peanuts

Blanched peanuts are raw peanuts that have had their reddish-brown skins removed through a gentle heat and moisture process, resulting in clean, creamy-white kernels. They retain their natural flavor and nutritional value while offering a smoother texture and more refined appearance, making them ideal for both direct consumption and industrial use.

Key Characteristics:

• Appearance: Smooth, off-white to pale cream-colored kernels with no skin.

• Texture: Firm and crunchy when raw; becomes crispy when roasted.

• Taste: Mild, nutty flavor – ideal base for seasoning or processing.

• Size/Type: Available in various grades, typically from Bold or Java varieties.

• Shelf Life: Longer due to the removal of skin, which reduces the risk of rancidity.

Uses:

• Snack production (salted, roasted, flavored)

• Confectionery and bakery items

• Peanut butter and spreads

• Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines

• Oil extraction and protein processing
