Fried Peanuts from Beiwuji

Fried Peanuts from Beiwuji

　　Beiwuji Township in Huaiyin District, northern Jiangsu, is renowned for its peanut production. The area’s unique neutral sandy loam soil gives its peanuts thin shells, plump kernels, attractive color, fragrant taste, and high oil content, making them highly popular among consumers. Fried peanuts are a distinctive traditional processing industry here. According to local chronicles, “the production technique of Beiwuji fried peanuts is refined—the peanuts appear raw at first glance, and even when shelled, the kernels seem unchanged, but they are fully cooked upon tasting. They are known for being crispy, delicious, and resistant to softening over time.” Fried peanut products are exported to cities such as Hangzhou, Yangzhou, and Shanghai. The registered “General’s Fruit” brand of small-packaged peanuts features snow-white, unburnt surfaces, deep purplish-red and very plump kernels that resemble the legendary longevity fruit. They are crispy, tasty, and highly nutritious. (Huaiyin)
