Baked Skinless Runner Peanut | Pack 8.81Oz-250Gr
Baked Skinless Runner Peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) are legumes appreciated for their crunchy texture, rich roasted flavor and delicate nutty notes. Originating from China, they feature oval-shaped kernels selected and oven-roasted to develop their characteristic aroma and taste. Their 250 g pack is ideal for snacking, incorporating into recipes and complementing gourmet culinary preparations.
Organoleptic Properties
Oval to slightly elongated kernels with relatively uniform sizing and a cream to light-golden color, resulting from the removal of their reddish skins. They offer a firm, dry and crunchy texture, with a rich roasted peanut flavor, subtle natural sweetness and pleasant nutty notes. Baking enhances toasted aromas through the Maillard reaction. Peanuts naturally provide plant-based protein, dietary fiber, vitamin E and predominantly unsaturated fats.
Suggested Uses
Ideal for snacking, trail mixes, granola, bowls, salads and appetizers. In baking and confectionery, they are excellent for cookies, brownies, cakes, chocolates, cereal bars, pralines and sweet treats. In contemporary cuisine, they can be incorporated into peanut sauces, dressings, nut butters, Asian-inspired dishes, chicken preparations, stir-fried vegetables and gourmet salads. They pair particularly well with dark chocolate, honey, coconut, chile, lime, ginger and spices. They may be used whole, chopped or ground.
Format
250 g pack of commercial Runner-type peanuts, baked and skinless, originating from China. A convenient presentation of shelled kernels with their reddish skins removed, ready for consumption and culinary applications. The pack supports easy portioning and storage. Contains peanuts, a food allergen.
Storage and Handling
Store in a cool, dry place protected from direct sunlight, preferably below 20 °C (68 °F), away from heat, moisture and strong odors. Keep the package properly sealed to preserve the peanuts' crunchy texture, roasted aroma and freshness. For extended storage, refrigeration in an airtight container helps reduce oxidation of their natural oils and moisture absorption.
Quality and Selection Criteria
Peanuts should display uniform cream-to-golden coloration, a crunchy texture and a pleasant roasted aroma, without moisture, mold, insects, rancidity or unusual flavors. Kernels should retain good integrity and a clean surface, without excessive skin residue. Packaging should be clean, intact and properly sealed.
Season
Peanuts are cultivated across different regions of China, with harvesting generally concentrated between late summer and fall, depending on climate and agricultural cycles. Thanks to drying, grading and baking, Runner peanuts are commercially available throughout the year.
Origin
China.
The peanut (Arachis hypogaea) originated in South America, where it was domesticated thousands of years ago. Its cultivation subsequently spread to Africa, Asia and other regions, becoming an important food crop and ingredient in the nut-processing industry.
An interesting botanical fact is that peanuts are not true nuts, but legumes, related to beans and lentils. They also exhibit a distinctive process called geocarpy: after fertilization, their pods develop underground.
The commercial Runner peanut type is particularly appreciated for its consistent kernel shape and versatility in roasting, confectionery and peanut butter production. Its baked, skinless presentation provides an enjoyable crunchy texture and distinctive roasted flavor.
