What are raw peanuts?

Raw peanuts are peanuts in their natural state that haven't undergone any roasting or cooking process. Our Raw Peanuts are simply cleaned and shelled, maintaining their original nutrient profile and natural characteristics. These unprocessed peanuts serve as an excellent starting point for home roasting, making homemade peanut butter, or incorporating into various recipes where you want to control the cooking process yourself.

Do they have any benefits?

Raw peanuts offer several nutritional advantages as they retain their full complement of nutrients without any alterations from heat processing. They contain higher levels of certain beneficial compounds like resveratrol and phytosterols compared to roasted varieties. Raw peanuts are also rich in protein, healthy fats, fiber, vitamins (particularly B vitamins), and minerals such as magnesium and phosphorus, making them a nutritionally dense food that supports overall health.

Do they taste different from other peanuts?

Raw peanuts have a distinctly different flavor profile compared to roasted varieties, offering a milder, more subtle nutty taste with earthy undertones. Their texture is also different—slightly softer and less crunchy than roasted peanuts. Many people enjoy this more delicate flavor for certain culinary applications, particularly when they plan to add their own seasonings or incorporate the peanuts into recipes where a more neutral nut flavor is desired.
