Raw Red Skin Peanuts

Raw red skin peanuts are a nutritious snack and versatile ingredient celebrated for their earthy flavor and health benefits. Packed with protein, healthy fats, and dietary fiber, they provide sustained energy and support heart health. These peanuts are also rich in antioxidants, thanks to their red skins, which contain resveratrol—a compound associated with reducing inflammation and promoting overall wellness.

In the kitchen, raw red skin peanuts shine in various uses. They can be roasted for a crunchy snack, blended into rich, creamy peanut butter, or ground into flour for baking. As a plant-based protein source, they’re perfect for adding to salads, stir-fries, and sauces. Their natural sweetness enhances desserts like brittle, cookies, and traditional African treats like peanut stew.

Peanut farming has deep roots in Zimbabwe, where the crop thrives in the country’s warm climate and fertile soils. Introduced in the early 1900s, peanuts became a staple in small-scale agriculture and local diets. Farmers often use traditional methods, passing down techniques through generations to maintain soil health and crop quality. The red skin variety, in particular, is prized for its robust flavor and adaptability.

Doreen’s family farm, located outside Harare, reflects this rich agricultural heritage. Cultivating peanuts without chemicals, they ensure a natural, wholesome product that embodies Zimbabwe’s farming traditions. Doreen continues this legacy by selling raw red skin peanuts and handcrafting 100% pure peanut butter, sharing the taste and quality of Zimbabwe’s bounty with the world.

By choosing these raw red skin peanuts, you’re not only enjoying a healthy and flavorful food but also supporting sustainable farming practices and empowering small-scale farmers in Zimbabwe.
