How it differs from similar foods
Unlike oil-roasted peanuts, dry roasting involves cooking the peanuts in their own natural oils without the addition of external oil. This results in a less greasy texture and a more concentrated, sometimes slightly toastier, peanut flavor. The absence of added oil can also lead to a crisper mouthfeel.
