Dry Roasted Peanuts
What it is
These are peanuts that have been roasted in a dry environment, meaning no oil is used during the roasting process. This method brings out a distinct, often more intense peanut flavor compared to oil-roasted varieties. The dry heat creates a satisfying crunch and a slightly deeper, nuttier taste profile. They are a simple, wholesome snack option.
