Blanched Peanuts

Groundnut kernels, commonly known as peanuts, are one of the key legume crops in tropical and semi-arid regions, providing a major source of edible oil and vegetable protein. These kernels are rich in oil, containing 45-53%, and protein, comprising 24-36%.

Blanched peanuts are widely used in various forms, including salted nuts, confectionery, bakery products, sweets, chocolates, and ice cream.

A recent quality initiative in the Indian peanut industry, led by APEDA, has significantly improved food safety practices and the control of aflatoxin contamination. To mitigate aflatoxin risks, we source our raw materials from the prime peanut-growing regions and ensure that during processing, no water is sprayed, and the product is minimally handled. We believe that selecting high-quality raw materials reduces the burden on the processing machinery, leading to superior final products.

As a leading manufacturer and exporter of raw and blanched peanuts, we process our products under stringent hygienic conditions to ensure a long shelf life. Our commitment to quality, packaging, and timely delivery has earned us a strong reputation in international markets.
