This Cabo Verde guide explains that peanut examples are not recorded and provides focused questions for ingredients, dishes, and restaurant preparation.
Editorial draft based on recorded food connections. Country-specific recipe connections await independent review; label research is identified separately below. This is not a list of suitable meals.

Understanding peanuts in Cabo Verde
This Cabo Verde reference brings together recorded dishes and ingredients to help you prepare questions about peanuts. It describes catalogue connections, not the suitability of a restaurant meal.
The current catalogue has no matching dish connections for this concern. That is a research gap, not evidence that local dishes exclude the ingredient.

Peanuts and the Cabo Verde record gap
No peanut ingredients or dishes are recorded for Cabo Verde. This does not establish that peanuts are absent from local food or from a particular meal. The peanut guide provides the relevant general page.
Ask about the exact recipe, toppings, fillings, sauces, and packaged products used in the food being considered. A missing example cannot answer a product-specific question or confirm a dish’s ingredients.
Ask the kitchen What ingredients and toppings are in this exact serving?
Specific questions matter when examples are absent
The supplied records do not document peanut uses, restaurant attitudes, or substitutions. Ask whether the venue’s current version includes peanuts or a prepared component containing them, and whether anything was added after cooking.
Separate recipe questions from preparation questions. A clear answer about the ingredients may still leave handling details open, while broad claims about local cuisine are not supported here.
Ask the kitchen Was anything added after the main cooking?
Local ingredient connections for this concern are still being researched. Use the general reference as a starting point.
Checking toppings, spreads, and packaged components
No peanut-linked ingredient is supplied. Ask about the contents of spreads, sauces, fillings, toppings, desserts, and packaged components only when they form part of the food being offered.
Ask whether a product is single-ingredient or a compound mixture and request its exact contents. The records do not identify a suitable replacement, so do not assume a substitute is peanut-free.
Ask the kitchen Is this product a single ingredient or a compound mixture?
There are no matching dish notes in the catalogue yet. Missing data does not establish ingredient absence.
No recorded peanut dish connection
There is no peanut-linked dish in the supplied Cabo Verde records. No named dish can therefore be described as a recorded peanut risk or option. Ask about the actual recipe and any separate additions.
Ask whether the dish includes a filling, sauce, garnish, or dessert component prepared elsewhere. The available evidence cannot show whether any named food varies in this respect.
Ask the kitchen Which components were prepared separately from the main dish?
A verified summary of Cabo Verde’s label rules and local translations has not yet been added to this guide. Do not assume that the rules or terms used at home apply here.
Use the original packaging and full ingredient list when asking about a product. Ingredient pages contain recorded local names; check the language and the exact food form. A menu name alone does not describe the full recipe.
Keep the name connected to the actual product
Check the exact food and its form. For peanuts, use the ingredient entries below to investigate recorded names. A name for a whole ingredient may not describe a powder, extract or mixed sauce. Confirm which product the kitchen uses.
Keep the original packet or a clear photograph available when asking for help. Ingredient recognition and a complete restaurant request are different tasks: a translated name alone does not explain the preparation you need.
Contact the restaurant before your visit and explain your requirements to someone who can check the kitchen. Ask about the full recipe, bought-in ingredients and shared preparation equipment. These are general planning steps, not a claim about local restaurant practices.
Recipe checks for peanuts
When ordering, ask about peanuts in sauces, spreads, fillings, toppings, desserts, and packaged ingredients that are actually present. No named local dish connection is recorded, so the menu name alone is insufficient.
Use the exact dish and current version in your question. Request the contents of accompanying components rather than relying on a general statement about the cuisine.
Ask the kitchen Do any fillings, toppings, or sauces contain peanuts?
Preparation checks for peanuts
After checking the recipe, ask how the serving is assembled and whether shared utensils, surfaces, containers, or finishing products are involved, if those details matter for your concern.
The supplied records do not describe restaurant practices or controls. Ask for a specific account of your serving’s preparation and keep unanswered handling questions unresolved.
Ask the kitchen How is this food assembled and finished?
Illustrative preparation equipment; practices vary between kitchens.
