Our Products
We offer a complete product range of Shelled Groundnuts
Groundnut, or peanut (Arachis hypogaea), is an annual herbaceous legume grown for its edible seeds, which are rich in protein, oil, and other nutrients. A unique characteristic is that its pods develop and ripen underground, a trait that gives it the scientific name hypogaea, meaning "under the earth". Groundnuts are a major oilseed crop and can be eaten roasted, boiled, or processed into products like peanut oil and spreads.
Plant and growth

Growth habit: Can be "bunch" or "spreading" types. The leaves are alternate, and the plant grows up to 1.6 ft tall.

Pod development: After pollination, the ovary elongates into a "peg" (gynophore) that grows downward into the soil, where the fertilized ovules develop into pods containing 1 to 5 seeds.
Climate: It thrives in tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate regions and requires well-drained soil, but cannot tolerate frost or prolonged waterlogging.
Nutritional value and uses

Edible forms: Eaten roasted, boiled, or as a key ingredient in many dishes.
Oil: Groundnut oil is a popular cooking oil with a high smoke point, often used for frying.
Other uses: Residues are used for animal feed, and the plant is used in crop rotation to fix nitrogen in the soil.
