✦ As-purchased weight reference
✦ ~70-75% edible kernel
✦ Protein and niacin
✦ Shell protects freshness
Peanuts weighed with shells reflect the in-shell purchase format; the shell accounts for roughly 25-30% of total weight. The edible kernel is nutritionally identical to shelled peanuts: high protein, niacin, folate, and monounsaturated fat. In-shell peanuts are often fresher as the shell protects from oxidation and moisture.

Preparation note
In-shell peanuts are a more mindful snacking format — the act of shelling slows eating pace. Always declare peanuts as a major allergen.
