Flavours and Sizes

Sunny Day Products peanuts are available with or without the shell, bulk or packaged, salted, unsalted or mildly spicy. For more information, please refer to the pricelist

Storage

The high fat content of peanuts makes them susceptible to becoming rancid from prolonged exposure to heat, light, and humidity. Raw unshelled peanuts, however, keep very well for about six months if stored in a cool, dry place.

Shelled peanuts should be refrigerated once the vacuum-sealed package is opened. A jar should be closed tightly. Transfer peanuts from non-recloseable packages to plastic bags or freezer containers. Shelled peanuts will keep for up to one year in the freezer. If they are properly wrapped, freezing will not significantly affect their texture or flavor. They need not be thawed for cooking purposes. Nuts for eating should be thawed at room temperature and then toasted or freshened in the oven briefly before serving. Do not chop whole peanuts until you are ready to use them.

Peanut Butter

If you want to make your own peanut butter, just process the peanuts in a food processor until the butter is as chunky or smooth if you like it. Add a little oil and/or salt, if you wish. Because it does not contain preservatives, homemade peanut butter should be kept in the refrigerator.
