Store the peanuts in a cool and dry place to keep them crunchy and delicious throughout the week. Alternatively, you can dry them completely and put them in plastic bottles or nylon bags. To prevent spoilage or mold, you can put a few dried chili peppers or ground pepper in the bag to extend the shelf life to 8-12 months.

– Although the thin outer shell of peanuts has a slightly bitter taste, they contain substances that promote the function of blood production in bone marrow, increase the quantity and quality of red blood cells.
