Roasted Peanuts
What it is
These are whole peanuts that have been roasted to bring out their natural flavor and aroma. Roasting changes the texture, making them more crisp and less dense than raw peanuts. They are often lightly salted, which enhances their savory taste. This product is a common snack and a versatile ingredient in various cuisines. The roasting process also makes them easier to digest for some individuals.
