Salted peanuts

Salted peanuts are a popular snack made from roasted peanuts coated with coarse or fine salt. Their characteristic flavour combines the natural nuttiness with a bold salty taste, making them highly addictive. In the kitchen, they are used not only as a standalone snack but also as an ingredient in salads, Asian sauces, baked snack bars, and energy bars. They are a rich source of protein, healthy fats, and B vitamins. When cooking, it is important to account for their saltiness and adjust the amount of added salt in the recipe accordingly. They also pair wonderfully with desserts such as brownies or chocolate energy balls.
