Additional peanuts
Description
Additional peanuts are small, crunchy seeds with a pleasant, slightly sweet-nutty flavor and a golden-beige hue; they can be roasted dry or with salt, which enhances their aroma and texture. They are nutritionally dense—rich in plant protein, healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, fiber, vitamin E, niacin, and minerals such as magnesium and phosphorus—which promotes satiety, supports the cardiovascular system, and metabolism. However, it is important to remember that this is a high-energy product and a common allergen. In the kitchen, peanuts work great as a crunchy addition to salads, soups, Asian dishes, satay sauces, desserts, and baked goods, intensifying the flavor and texture of dishes. It is best to store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry, and shaded place; for longer shelf life, it is advisable to keep them in the refrigerator or freezer, away from strong odors.
