Everything at a glance Organic wild peanuts
If you regularly eat crunchy peanut butter from the jar, devour peanut butter cups in a bite, and snack on salty peanuts when watching a film, then this is for you: we are happy to introduce the last addition to our KoRo family, peanut's exotic cousin – the wild peanut. Once you tried this striped nut, we are sure that it will become a new favourite of the whole household!
Creamier taste and texture
Wild peanuts differ from regular peanuts not only in their look, but their taste. Raw wild peanuts are reminiscent of freshly picked peas, in taste, and are wonderfully creamy: the reason for this is that peanuts are closely related to peas and beans, being technically legumes. Yes, you got that right: peanuts are not nuts.

Why is the price fluctuating?
Most annual product crops have an impact on the relationship between supply and demand in the market. In the event of a bad harvest, we must also pay a higher price for raw materials. Due to the strong impact of external factors such as wind, weather, climate and natural events on the harvest, we are refusing long-term cross-harvest contracts with our producers. -

Open communication is very important to us and therefore part of our vision. For this reason, we would like to keep you informed of the evolution of our prices. Thus, the KoRo price chart provides a transparent overview of the evolution of the products prices over time.
Organic wild peanuts - Ein Blick hinter die Kulissen
Unter der Erde versteckt
Die erste Silbe verrät die Herkunft der Erdnuss: Sie wächst dort, wo kein Licht hinkommt. Dabei entwickelt die Pflanze ein einzigartiges Wurzelsystem, mit dem sie selbst in den magersten Böden ausreichend Nährstoffe findet. Einige Wochen nach Aussaat wird die Erdnusspflanze mit ihren grünen Ranken auch über der Erde sichtbar.
In den feuchten Tropen gedeihen die Pflanzen
Wir beziehen unsere wilden Erdnüsse von Kleinbauern in Indonesien, die auf den Erdnuss-Anbau spezialisiert sind. Die Pflanzen brauchen eine konstant warme Temperatur von über 25 Grad Celsius. Erdnüsse gedeihen daher besonders gut in feuchten und tropischen Anbaugebieten wie etwa in China, Indien und Nigeria.
Die Pflanze wächst nach oben und unten
Die Erdnusspflanze wächst nicht einfach wie ein Baum nach oben, sondern im Zickzack. Sobald die Blüte über der Erde gelb wird, werden die Blütenstängel länger, krümmen sich nach unten und wachsen wieder in die Erde hinein. Dort entstehen aus den Samen der Blüte dann die Erdnüsse.
Erntesaison von April bis Juni
Etwa vier Monate nach der Aussaat wird die Pflanze welk. Klingt erstmal schlecht, ist aber ein gutes Zeichen: Nun können die Erdnüsse geerntet werden. Dazu heben die Bauern die ganze Pflanze samt Wurzel aus der Erde. An einer Erdnusspflanze können bis zu 30 Erdnüsse hängen.
In der Sonne getrocknet
Nun werden die Erdnüsse an einem luftigen und sonnigen Ort getrocknet. Nach etwa sechs Stunden können die Bauern die wilden Erdnüsse schälen.
Von Hand sortiert und geschält
Sobald die wilden Erdnüsse von ihrer Schale befreit sind, kommt ihre getigerte Haut zum Vorschein. Anschließend werden die Nüsse nach ihrer Größe sortiert. Bei unseren wilden Erdnüssen handelt es sich um so genannte Jumbo Peanuts, die eine Länge von bis zu 20 mm haben.
Questions about questions Organic wild peanuts
Can I plant peanuts myself?
As our wild peanuts are not roasted, they can actually be sprouted! You just need to peel them and plant them in soil, which you must keep humid at all times. Now you have to patiently wait, sipping a tea and reading a magazine, until the peanuts sprout. The tiny newborn plants like fresh air and warmth. After a couple of weeks, the plants should have reached the right size to be moved to a larger pot and planted in sandy soil. Harvesting time is going to arrive after about four months, when the plant is yellow and withering – pull gently the plant, roots included, out of the soil, and collect the peanuts!
How many calories do wild peanuts have?
Wild peanuts have more or less the same nutritional value of regular peanuts. 100 g of wild peanuts have 609 calories; a handful, which is about 25 g, provides you with 153 calories.
Are peanuts nuts?
Botanically speaking, peanuts are not nuts, but a legume crop. The English name come from the two words pea and nut, which is as a matter of fact, quite accurate. However, a nut is technically a nut when a fruit is completely enclosed by a pericarp, or a shell; this shell must be made of three layers, which grow together. All fruits that are not protected by such shell can therefore not be considered as a nut. Thus are peanuts not the only "fake" nuts. Coconuts, cashew nuts, and pistachios are botanically-wise no nuts as well.
Are wild peanuts high-protein?
With 27,7 g of protein per 100 g, wild peanuts are a great source of plant-based protein They can therefore be a wonderful post-workout snack.
What do wild peanuts taste like?
Their tiger-like appearance is not the only thing that differentiates wild peanuts from their regular counterpart, Wild peanuts' taste is somehow creamy and reminiscent of freshly picked peas. This unique taste of theirs makes them a great addition to a cheese plate, or a wonderful topping for salads and oats. We should not even mention this, but they are a delicious snack on their own too!
