生落花生

Origin: Chiba

Facts/Flavor: Peanuts are not true nuts; they are actually legumes. They grow underground, originating from the roots of a plant called Arachis hypogaea. The flowers of this plant are unusual because they bloom above ground but then bend and push themselves underground, where the peanut pods develop. In Japan, raw peanuts are often used in a variety of culinary applications. They can be found as a common ingredient in dishes such as salads, noodle dishes, and even desserts. Raw peanuts can be a popular snack in many cultures, including Japan. They are sometimes enjoyed as a simple, crunchy snack when seasoned and roasted. Raw peanuts are crunchy and firm. They have a different texture compared to roasted peanuts, which are softer and more brittle. Raw peanuts have a mild, earthy flavor with a slightly nutty taste. They are not as sweet as roasted peanuts, and their flavor can be somewhat grassy or vegetal due to their freshness.
