Salted Roasted Peanuts
What it is
These are whole peanuts that have been roasted to bring out their natural flavor and then lightly coated with salt. Roasting gives them a satisfying crunch and a deeper, more complex taste compared to raw peanuts. The salt enhances their inherent nuttiness, making them a popular snack. They are a common pantry staple for many households.
