A Spectrum of Peanut Varieties

Our rainbow peanuts showcase a stunning array of six peanut varieties, each offering unique flavors, textures, and visual appeal. Here's a closer look at what makes each variety special:

• Red and White Peanuts: These dual-toned peanuts combine the sweetness of red-skinned varieties with the mildness of white, offering a balanced taste and a crunchy texture.
• Black Peanuts: Rare and unique, black peanuts have a deep, earthy flavor with a hint of sweetness. Their dark skins are packed with antioxidants, making them a nutritious choice.
• Red Valencia Peanuts: Known for their bold nutty flavor and naturally sweet undertone, these red-skinned peanuts are larger and creamier, perfect for making peanut butter or enjoying roasted.
• Spanish Light Brown Peanuts: Offering a delicate nuttiness, these light brown-skinned peanuts are slightly smaller but have a dense, satisfying crunch, making them ideal for roasting or adding to trail mixes.

Spanish vs. Valencia Peanuts

While both Spanish and Valencia peanuts are beloved for their taste and versatility, they have distinct differences:

• Spanish Peanuts: Typically smaller, Spanish peanuts are known for their higher oil content, which makes them particularly well-suited for roasting. Their flavor is bold and nutty, with a rich, earthy finish. They’re often used in peanut butter and snacks due to their vibrant taste.

• Valencia Peanuts: Valencia peanuts are larger and sweeter, usually with bright red skins. They have a milder, creamier flavor than Spanish peanuts. Due to their lower oil content and distinct sweetness, Valencia peanuts are often enjoyed boiled or in their natural form.

A Unique Blend for Every Taste

The Organic Rainbow Peanut mix celebrates the diversity of these varieties, offering a medley of flavors, textures, and colors that transform snacking and cooking into an adventure. Each handful is a testament to the beauty and versatility of nature’s bounty.

Preparation Tips

Whether you prefer them roasted or boiled, preparing Organic Rainbow Peanuts brings out their unique flavors and textures. Follow these simple steps to enjoy them at their best:

Roasting Peanuts

Roasting enhances the natural nuttiness of peanuts and gives them a delightful crunch.

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Spread the Peanuts: Place the peanuts in a single layer on a baking sheet. For added flavor, lightly coat them with olive oil and your favorite seasoning (salt, paprika, or chili powder work well).
3. Roast: Bake for 15–20 minutes, stirring halfway through for even roasting.
4. Cool: Allow the peanuts to cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.

Boiling Peanuts

Boiled peanuts are a classic snack that softens the texture and brings out a distinct flavor, especially in Valencia peanuts.

1. Rinse the Peanuts: Wash the peanuts thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
2. Soak: For best results, soak the peanuts in water for 8–12 hours or overnight.
3. Boil: Add the peanuts to a large pot of water, ensuring they are fully submerged. For every gallon of water, add about 1/4 cup of salt. You can also include spices like garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, or bay leaves for extra flavor.
4. Simmer: Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 2–3 hours, checking for desired softness.
5. Drain and Serve: Once tender, drain the peanuts and let them cool slightly before enjoying warm or at room temperature.

Tips for Best Results

• Experiment with Flavors: Roasting and boiling methods allow for creative seasoning, so feel free to add spices, herbs, or a touch of sweetness.
• Storage: Store roasted peanuts in an airtight container to maintain their crunch, or refrigerate boiled peanuts for up to a week.
• Don’t Skip Soaking: Soaking peanuts before boiling ensures a more tender texture and even seasoning.
