- A blanched peanut, also known as a skinless peanut, is simply one with the skin removed.
- When a peanut is harvested, its hard outer shell is kept intact, and under this shell, the nut is wrapped in a red skin layer.
- To remove this skin layer, skinless peanuts are passed onto a long dryer and roasting machine.
- Mild heat is then introduced, while the peanut travels on a metal mesh conveyor belt through a series of chambers which vary between hot and cold, in order to reduce temperature shock.
- Once the skinless peanuts are out of the roaster, either air pressure or rollers are used to apply friction and remove their skin.
