The Versatile, Nutty Essential for Cooking and Snacking

Unlock the rich, earthy, and satisfying flavor of fresh peanuts with Heera Raw Red Peanuts in a generous 1kg pack. These peanuts, available at Ideal Indiska in Stockholm, are raw and shelled, ready for you to roast, boil, or incorporate directly into your favorite recipes. Peanuts (often called groundnuts or moongphali) are a fundamental ingredient in Indian, Pakistani, Southeast Asian, and global cuisines, valued for their crunch, flavor, and high protein content.

What Makes Red Peanuts Unique?

These raw red peanuts (often Spanish or Valencia types) are distinguished by the reddish/purplish skin that covers the kernel.

• Superior Freshness: Buying raw allows you to roast them exactly when you need them, ensuring maximum flavor and crunch, superior to pre-roasted versions.
• Rich, Nutty Flavor: Roasting these peanuts brings out a deep, satisfying nutty taste and a fragrant aroma.
• High Protein Content: Peanuts are an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and healthy fats.
• Versatile Culinary Use: Essential for both savory dishes (like curries and stir-fries) and sweet preparations (like chikki or ladoos).
• Value 1kg Pack: This bulk size is economical and ideal for families or those who frequently use peanuts in large quantities for making chutneys, snacks, or homemade spice mixes.

Culinary Uses for Heera Raw Red Peanuts

• Roasting & Snacking: Dry roast or shallow fry them and toss with salt, chilli powder, or Chaat Masala for a delicious, fresh savory snack (namkeen).
• Tempering (Tadka): Used whole or split, peanuts are a key ingredient in the tempering for Upma, Poha, and various South Indian curries and vegetable stir-fries.
• Chutneys & Sauces: The essential base ingredient for classic peanut chutney (often served with dosa and idli), satay sauce, or African-style peanut stews.
• Sweets: Use in traditional Indian sweets like Chikki (peanut brittle), peanut butter, or energy bars and ladoos.
• Curry Base: Ground peanuts add richness and thickness to gravies in certain regional cuisines (e.g., Maharashtrian and some South Indian curries).

A Snack Connection for Sweden and Europe:

You can think of Heera Raw Red Peanuts as a blank slate for delicious homemade snacks. Similar to how Swedes enjoy their various forms of crunchy and salted nuts, these peanuts offer a base for crafting a uniquely South Asian 'hemmagjord snacks' that is packed with flavor and protein.

How to Roast Raw Peanuts

1. Dry Roast: Heat a wide, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the peanuts and stir constantly for 8–12 minutes until they are aromatic, slightly darker, and the skin begins to flake off.
2. Cool: Remove immediately and spread them out to cool. The residual heat will continue to cook them.
3. Use: Rub the peanuts gently to remove the skins if desired before use.
