Peanut products refer to a wide range of food and non-food items that are derived from peanuts, which are legumes native to South America. Peanuts are a popular source of protein and healthy fats and are used in various culinary applications. Here are some common peanut products: 1 Peanut Butter: Perhaps the most famous peanut product, peanut butter is made by grinding roasted peanuts into a smooth or crunchy paste. It is commonly used as a spread on bread, in sandwiches, and as an ingredient in many recipes, including desserts like peanut butter cookies. 2 Peanut Oil: Peanut oil, also known as groundnut oil, is extracted from peanuts and is used in cooking, frying, and baking due to its high smoke point and mild flavor. It is a common cooking oil in many Asian cuisines. 3 Roasted Peanuts: Whole peanuts can be roasted and salted or flavored for a crunchy snack. They are often served at sporting events, bars, and as a popular street food.
