You'll LOVE our Peanuts, Raw Whole With Skin (uncooked, unsalted) by Rani Brand--Here's Why:Authentic Indian Spices The peanut, also known as the groundnut, is a legume crop grown mainly for its edible seeds. It is widely grown in the tropics and subtropics, being important to both small and large commercial producers. A typically among legume crop plants, peanut pods develop underground (geocarpy) rather than above ground. With this characteristic in mind, the botanist Carl Linnaeus named the species hypogaea, which means "under the earth".Start with raw, shelled peanuts. We usually buy blanched peanuts, with the skin removed. But this will work fine on unblanched peanuts; there will just still be a red, papery skin on the nuts.Heat the oven to 350F. Spread 2 cups peanuts in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet.Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring at least twice during the roasting time. When they smell peanutty and roasted, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with salt if desired. Let cool before transferring to a sealed container or using them in a recipe.Product Type: Whole Packaging: PET JARNet Weight: 40oz (2.5lbs) 1.14kgOrigin: Product of IndiaIngredients: Raw PeanutsRani Brand Authentic Indian Products, who are we?Ever look at a company selling online and having no idea who your buying from?
