If you regularly eat crunchy peanut butter by the spoonful, breathe in peanut butter cups and can't go a TV evening without salted peanuts, this product is just for you: from now on, you can find the peanut's long lost brother in our shop – the wild peanut. Once you've tried this tasty nut, you won't want anything else.

Creamy taste

The wild peanut is not just different from the ordinary peanut in appearance. The taste of the raw wild peanut is reminiscent of freshly picked peas and tastes wonderfully creamy. This is not least due to the fact that the peanut is a close relative of peas and beans. Actually, the peanut is not a nut at all.

Striped eye catcher

Wild peanuts are a real eye-catcher and cut a fine figure as a topping on salads and Asian curries as well as on cheese platters. The peanuts taste so delicious that you can also enjoy them as a snack. But the tabby peanuts can do more than just look good: With 27.7 g protein per 100 g nuts, they are a real source of protein - and 100 % vegan.

Production

Erdnussanbau bei Kleinbauern aus Indonesien:

KoRo’s wilde Erdnüsse stammen aus Indonesien, wo sie von Kleinbäuer:innen und Farmerfamilien angebaut werden. Jede Familie bewirtschaftet etwa einen halben Hektar Land, auf dem die Erdnüsse in Mischkulturen angebaut werden. Achtung, Spoiler: Die Hülsenfrucht wächst gar nicht am Erdnussbaum über dem Boden! Eigentlich sagt ihr Name auch schon alles: Sie wächst im Erdreich, deshalb auch der Name „Erdnuss“. Die Pflanze entwickelt ein pfiffiges Wurzelsystem, mit dem sie auch in magerem Boden genug Nährstoffe findet.

Upside down: Früher Erdnusssamen, jetzt Erdnüsse mit Schale

Viele Arbeiten werden von den Farmerfamilien in Handarbeit erledigt. Gar nicht so leicht! Die “wilde” Erdnuss stellt nämlich gerne die Welt auf den Kopf und wächst nach unten: Sobald die Blüte der Pflanze gelb wird, werden die Blütenstängel länger, krümmen sich nach unten und wachsen einfach wieder in die Erde hinein. Dort bilden sich aus den Samen der Blüte die Erdnüsse. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Hülsenfrüchten öffnet sich die Schale von Erdnüssen nicht; sie bleibt verschlossen. Sobald die Pflanze welkt, kann geerntet werden. Das passiert zweimal im Jahr!

Handarbeit und sichere Löhne:

Besonders an unseren wilden Erdnüssen ist auch ihr “Produktionsverfahren”. Bis hierhin werden alle Arbeitsschritte in Handarbeit von den Arbeiter:innen vor Ort erledigt. Die Robustheit und Anspruchslosigkeit der Pflanze bedeutet für sie eine sichere und zuverlässige Einnahmequelle. Es sind eben doch nicht nur Peanuts!

Nach der Ernte ist vor der Trocknung: Bio Erdnüsse naturbelassen

Nach der Ernte wandern unsere wilden Erdnüsse bei 50 °C für 12 Stunden in den Trocknungsofen. Weil wir sie zuvor aus ihrem Schalen-Kleid befreit haben, kann man auch endlich das darunter verborgene, getigerte Muster der wilden Erdnüsse erkennen. Nach der Trocknung heißt es für unser Produkt auch schon: ab in die luftdicht verschlossene KoRo-Verpackung. Von Indonesien geht es auf direktem Weg in unser Berliner Lager. Und jetzt bist Du dran, mit wilde Erdnüsse kaufen und probieren!

Questions & answers: Organic wild peanuts 1kg

Search FAQ section:

What do wild peanuts taste like?

Wild peanuts differ from conventional peanut kernels not only by their mottled surface. The wild peanuts taste rather creamy mild and thus remind of freshly picked peas. Therefore, they harmonize perfectly with cheese platters, as a topping in salads and in muesli. But they are also great as a natural snack.

Can I grow peanuts myself?

Pssst, secret tip: Since our wild peanuts are not roasted, they are great for growing sprouts. To do this, simply shell the wild peanut and place it in a pot with moist growing soil. Wait and tea until the peanut germinates, always making sure that the soil has sufficient moisture. The little plant likes places flooded with light and warmth. After a few weeks, a peanut plant should become visible above ground. Then, if possible, the plant can move to a larger pot with sandy soil. Harvest time is when the peanut plant is yellow and wilted - usually about four months after sowing. Then simply pull the plant together with the root out of the pot and harvest the peanuts.

Do wild peanuts have a lot of protein?

Wild peanuts are a super protein source with 27.7 g protein per 100 g - and that purely vegetable! This makes wild peanuts the ideal snack after your home workout.

Are peanuts not nuts?

Botanically speaking, the peanut is not a nut, but a legume. You can hear this in the English name peanut - literally translated pea-nut. Attention, a little nerd lecture: A nut is a nut as soon as a fruit is completely covered by a pericarp. This wall must also have three layers, all of which are intergrown. All fruits whose shell has fewer than three layers or which open on their own are not, strictly speaking, nuts. Thus, the peanut is not the only "false" nut. Coconuts, cashews and pistachios also do not fall under the botanical definition of a nut. But they have one thing in common: they all guarantee the highest Ge-nuss.

How many calories have 100 g of wild peanuts?

Wild peanuts are similar to conventional peanuts in their nutritional values and calories. For every 100 g of wild peanuts, there are 609 kcal. To estimate: A handful of peanuts weighs about 25 g and thus has around 153 kcal.
