Redskin Peanuts, 200g

200g of Redskin Peanuts packed in our plant-based, compostable bags.

Redskin peanuts are a variety of peanuts that retain their red-brown skins, unlike the common peanut varieties that are usually sold without the skins. The term "redskin" refers to the reddish, papery skin that covers the nut inside. These peanuts are similar in taste and texture to regular peanuts but are distinguished by the colour of their skin, which has a slightly earthy, nutty flavour.

Redskin peanuts are nutritious, offering a good source of protein, healthy fats (particularly monounsaturated fats), fibre, and a variety of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin E, B vitamins, magnesium, and phosphorus. The skin of the peanut, while often removed in other varieties, contains additional antioxidants and fibre, providing additional health benefits.

These peanuts are often sold roasted and salted, but they can also be found raw or in their natural state. The skins, being rich in fibre and antioxidants, can be eaten along with the nuts or removed before consumption, depending on personal preference. Redskin peanuts are popular in snack mixes, peanut butter production, or as a standalone snack. They are also sometimes used in candy making, particularly in products like peanut brittle. The slight bitterness of the skin can add an extra depth of flavour to recipes. However, they can be more difficult to shell than other types of peanuts due to their tougher skin.
