What it is

Roasted peanuts are peanuts that have been heated to improve their flavor and texture. They are the seeds of a legume plant, native to South America. Roasting can be done dry or with oil, and it deepens the nutty taste and makes them more brittle.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use roasted peanuts for their rich, nutty flavor and satisfying crunch. They are a popular snack on their own and are also incorporated into many foods like candy bars, baked goods, granola, and savory dishes for added texture and taste.

Health notes

Peanuts are a good source of protein, healthy fats, and various vitamins and minerals. The FDA recognizes peanuts as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for consumption. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated peanuts, but no specific ADI is typically set for whole foods. While generally considered healthy, excessive intake of salted or heavily processed peanut products might contribute to high sodium intake.

Allergen info

Peanuts are one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
