About Coated peanuts

Coated peanuts are peanuts covered with an added layer, commonly made from a starch-based batter or other crisp coating, and may be fried or baked. The name covers a range of commercial and homemade products rather than one fixed recipe. They are eaten as a snack or used as a crunchy topping; coatings may be seasoned, sweetened or flavoured.

The peanut centers are firm and oily, while the outer coating is typically crisp and may be smooth, rough or puffed. Flavour depends on the coating and seasoning, which can mask the peanut's own savoury taste. Plain coated peanuts are distinct from chocolate-covered peanuts and from uncoated roasted peanuts.
