Ingredients for Fermented Peanuts For 5 people

How to Choose Fresh and Quality Peanuts
- When buying peanuts, you should choose large, round, and plump ones that feel firm when pressed. Because these peanuts will have a richer and tastier flavor when eaten.
- Additionally, you should prioritize buying peanuts with red shells that are bright in color. Because this type of red-shelled peanut will be denser than the white-shelled ones.
- Do not choose peanuts that are hollow, have signs of weevil infestation, are damp or moldy, or have unusual colors, and have sprouted.
