Are peanuts cooked in oil?

Published in Food Processing 1 min read

Peanuts can be cooked in oil, but it's not the only method. Oil roasting is a common way to process peanuts, but dry roasting is also widely used.

Here's a breakdown:

  • Oil Roasting: This involves cooking peanuts in oil to impart flavor and texture.
  • Dry Roasting: This uses hot air without oil or water to cook the peanuts.

Other less common methods include boiling, microwave heating, and combinations of different processes. Therefore, while peanuts are sometimes cooked in oil, it is not the only way they are processed.
