Premium Groundnuts (Peanuts)
India ranks among the world’s top three producers and exporters of groundnuts, with Saurashtra’s black cotton soil and semi-arid climate producing kernels of exceptional oil content, flavour profile, and kernel uniformity. Indian groundnuts are exported in multiple value-added forms — raw shelled, blanched (skin-removed), roasted, split, and as groundnut oil — serving diverse industries across five continents.
Groundnuts from the Saurashtra belt are specifically prized for their high oleic acid content and naturally low aflatoxin risk attributable to the region’s dry post-harvest conditions. Our groundnuts undergo multi-stage cleaning, gravity separation, electronic colour sorting, and laboratory-tested quality evaluation before export, ensuring compliance with stringent EU, US FDA, and Chinese SPS import requirements.
Bold grade (38/42 and 40/50 count) is preferred by the confectionery and snack food industry for its uniformly large kernel size and rich flavour. Java grade (50/60 to 60/70 count) is widely consumed in Southeast Asian and African markets. High oleic varieties are increasingly demanded by food processors for their superior shelf life and heart-health positioning.

Frequently Asked Questions for Groundnuts (Peanuts) Specifications
Bold groundnuts feature an elongated shape and larger kernel sizes, making them perfect for snacking and roasting. Java groundnuts are smaller and rounder with a notably higher natural oil content, making them ideal for oil extraction and confectionery manufacturing.
We source exclusively from low-moisture regions, maintain tight storage drying protocols, and conduct thorough High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) testing to ensure every batch complies with strict international thresholds (e.g., under 4 ppb for the EU).
For Bold varieties, we offer 38/42, 40/50, and 50/60 counts per ounce. For Java varieties, we supply 50/60, 60/70, 70/80, and 80/90 counts per ounce.
We primarily focus on raw shelled peanut kernels, but our facility is fully equipped to prepare bulk raw peanuts in-shell or blanched kernels based on your structural import needs.
We pack our groundnuts in breathable, premium-grade jute/burlap bags or vacuum-sealed bags to facilitate balanced internal ventilation while capping moisture content strictly below 7%.
