Roasted, salted peanuts
Description
Roasted, salted peanuts have an intense, slightly salty flavor with a distinct nutty note of roasting and a golden-brown, crunchy texture. They are pleasantly fatty in the mouth, with a characteristic roasting aroma that enhances the flavor of many dishes. Nutritionally, they provide concentrated plant protein and unsaturated fatty acids, as well as fiber, vitamin E, niacin, and minerals such as magnesium and phosphorus. Regular, moderate consumption may support satiety, heart health, and metabolic functions, but it is important to remember their high calorie content and salt levels in the salted version. In the kitchen, they are suitable for snacks, salads, spreads, Asian dishes, sauces, and baked goods, adding crunch and depth of flavor. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from light; for longer freshness, they can be kept in the refrigerator.
