Dry Roasted Seasoned Peanuts
What it is
These are whole peanuts that have undergone a dry roasting process, meaning they are cooked without oil. They are then coated with a blend of seasonings that can include salt, spices, and other flavorings. This combination creates a savory and satisfying snack. The roasting process enhances the natural nutty flavor of the peanuts, while the seasoning adds an extra layer of taste.

In cooking, they can be tossed into stir-fries during the last few minutes of cooking to add texture and a savory element.
