Blanched Peanuts Equipment
Blanching represents the start of peanut processing for further use, removing the peanut’s red skin, which can be considered bitter tasting. Most often the heart is also removed. Once completed, the cleaned nut is ready for further processing into a nut butter or paste, or granulated into sizes suitable for products ranging from prepared meals to baked goods or ice cream toppings. In any instance, the best blanching equipment will not only ensure thorough skin removal, but also accomplish this with minimal product shrinkage, to protect your company’s profitability.
