Harvesting

Blanched peanuts are derived from mature peanut plants, which require a warm, subtropical climate with well-drained sandy soil to thrive. Peanuts grow underground as part of the plant’s root system, developing in pods beneath the surface. The harvest begins when the plants reach maturity, typically 120–150 days after planting. Farmers carefully uproot the plants and leave them to dry in the sun for several days, allowing excess moisture to evaporate. Once dried, the peanuts are separated from the vines and processed for blanching.

Blanching involves removing the outer skin by briefly exposing the peanuts to high temperatures followed by gentle rubbing, leaving behind a smooth, creamy-coloured nut. This process enhances the mild, nutty flavour and makes them ideal for snacking, cooking, and peanut butter production. As a nutrient-rich legume, blanched peanuts are naturally high in protein, healthy fats, and essential vitamins, making them a versatile and nutritious ingredient for a variety of dishes.

The organic nature of Organic Blanched Peanuts means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Blanched Peanuts in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.

The History of Organic Blanched Peanuts

Peanuts (Arachis hypogaea) have been cultivated for thousands of years, with origins tracing back to South America, where ancient civilizations such as the Incas and Aztecs valued them as a nutritious and energy-rich food. Spanish explorers introduced peanuts to Europe and Africa, where they became widely cultivated due to their adaptability to warm climates. By the 19th and 20th centuries, peanuts gained global popularity, especially in Asia and North America, where they became a key ingredient in cuisine, confectionery, and peanut butter production. The process of blanching peanuts—removing their outer skin after brief exposure to heat—was developed to enhance their smooth texture, mild flavour, and versatility in cooking. Today, blanched peanuts are widely used in baking, sauces, nut butters, and snacks, offering a cleaner, refined texture while maintaining the rich nutritional value and culinary flexibility of traditional peanuts.
