About Valencia peanut

Valencia peanut is a market type of peanut, generally distinguished by its relatively small kernels and by several kernels commonly developing in each pod. The kernels have reddish skins and a characteristic peanut flavour. Specific size, colour and flavour can vary by cultivar and growing conditions; ‘Valencia’ identifies a type, not a single processed product.

Valencia peanuts are sold raw or roasted, in or out of the shell, and are used as a snack or ingredient. Boiling is also a common preparation for peanuts of this type. Roasted, boiled and raw kernels differ in moisture and texture, so the name alone does not indicate the form being measured.
