Sichuan Tianfu Peanuts

Sichuan Tianfu Peanuts

　　A type of peanut known as "Eagle Beak Peanuts" is produced in counties such as Deyang and Yibin in Sichuan. These peanuts have larger kernels and contain higher levels of protein, fat, and vitamins compared to other types of peanuts, making them popular among consumers. In the 1960s, the foreign trade department refined their roasting process to produce crispy, fragrant, and delicious spiced peanuts for export. Thanks to their snow-white shells that resemble fresh peanuts, the kernels offer a richly toasted, crisp, and savory flavor when bitten into. When sealed and packaged, they can be stored for a long time without releasing oil or becoming greasy, which has made them very popular. In 1968, they were officially named “Tianfu Peanuts.”
