Product Overview

For commercial food manufacturers, confectionery producers, and bulk nut processors seeking reliable raw agricultural ingredients, our raw shelled peanuts deliver exceptional processing quality and yield. Carefully shelled and optical-sorted, each batch consists of whole, uniform raw kernels covered in intact, natural light pink-to-tan seed coats. The kernels present a dense, firm bite with a mild, earthy, raw nutty taste and subtle natural aroma, serving as a clean canvas for roasting, frying, grinding, or seasoning. This raw shelled format is exceptionally suited for industrial peanut butter production, roasted snack manufacturing, chocolate and candy bar inclusions, paste production, and cold-pressed oil extraction. Machine-cleaned and vacuum-packed under strict quality management, this raw ingredient provides B2B buyers with minimal split rates, extended shelf stability, low foreign matter counts, and seamless integration into automated roasting and processing lines.

Key Features

• Uniform Kernel Sizing — Precise count grading ensures consistent heat distribution and even color development during commercial roasting.

• Intact Pink Seed Skin — Natural thin seed coats shield inner fats from rapid oxidative rancidity during storage.

• High Oil Content — Dense kernel composition yields superior oil recovery for crushing and rich texture in peanut butter manufacturing.

• Low Moisture Level — Controlled drying to optimal moisture percentage prevents mold proliferation and extends storage viability.

• Low Split Percentage — High ratio of whole kernels reduces fines and waste in mechanized sorting and processing lines.

• Clean Neutral Base — Raw profile absorbs custom roasts, coatings, seasonings, and sweeteners with predictable batch consistency.

• Vacuum Bulk Packaging — Nitrogen-flushed packaging options safeguard against moisture uptake and oxidative degradation during transit.
