Our yogurt covered peanuts have multiple layers of a delicious yogurt covering poured over them, with a light powder dusting as a refined finishing touch. In addition to the burst of crunchiness you experience from the peanuts, you’ll also discover a gentle crispness when you bite into the layers of yogurt. This is a flavorful, healthy treat for kids and adults to enjoy as a snack or lunch bag item. The great part is, they don't contain shellac.

Surprisingly, peanuts are not actually in the nut family. They are classified as legumes along with foods like green peas, soybeans, and lentils.

Many people believe the peanut is not as nutritionally valuable as true nuts like almonds, walnuts, or cashews. But actually, peanuts have many of the same health benefits as the more expensive nuts and should not be overlooked as a nutritious food.

Things to Watch Out For

While peanuts are healthy foods, not everyone can enjoy them. An allergy to peanuts is the most common food allergy, causing the majority of all food-allergy-related deaths.

It's important to talk to a doctor if you experience any uncomfortable feelings while eating peanuts.

How to Store and Use Peanuts

Even though they're technically legumes rather than nuts, peanuts share many of the storage challenges associated with nuts. The high oil content of peanuts means that they can turn rancid quickly if they're not stored in the proper conditions.

To prevent spoilage, keep peanuts in a cool, moisture-free environment. If you're planning to use them soon, a pantry or cupboard will do. For the longest storage time, a refrigerator is better.

Peanuts can be eaten raw, blanched, roasted, boiled, fried, powdered, or made into peanut butter. Eating them with their thin, papery skin is most nutritionally beneficial, as the skin contains the many antioxidants and phytochemicals. Adding more peanuts to your diet is easy enough to do, whether with peanuts or peanut butter.

Here are some ways to use peanuts in a variety of dishes:

• Bake peanuts into cookies or pies.
• Make a peanut butter and banana sandwich.
• Add peanut butter to hummus.
• Top your yogurt with peanuts.
• Toss peanuts in a salad.
• Add peanuts to your stir fry or noodles dish.
• Mix peanuts into a trail mix.
• Dip spring rolls into Thai peanut sauce.

Due to the sensitive nature of nuts, it is possible that some may be damaged or broken during transportation. In addition, we cannot guarantee that each pack contains 100% whole/unbroken products, but we make every effort to ensure our packaging is as secure and strong as possible. The nuts or other products may also be damaged or broken during transit from our manufacturers, so it is sometimes impossible to guarantee 100% whole contents without some broken pieces.
