Red Skin Peanuts are simply peanuts with their natural reddish-brown skins left on, most commonly Spanish or Valencia varieties, and they offer higher antioxidants, fiber, and heart‑health benefits than blanched peanuts.
Key Nutritional Advantages
Antioxidants: The skin contains polyphenols such as catechin, epicatechin, quercetin, and resveratrol—far more than skinless peanuts.
Fiber: Peanut skins are ~55% fiber, adding about 1 extra gram per ounce compared to blanched peanuts.
Healthy fats & protein: About 14 g fat and 7 g protein per 28 g serving, similar to blanched peanuts but with added micronutrient benefits.
