Purchasing resources for Peanut Growers

Peanuts are the most well-known and loved nut in the country and around the world. Peanut growers dot the South, offering an array of wholesale raw peanuts, bulk peanuts, wholesale peanuts and peanut seeds. Peanuts are a perfect partner of chocolate, cookie bases, and marshmallow creme as they offer rich flavor, texture and a natural sweetness.

Choose from raw, organic, bulk, or wholesale peanuts in multiple states of processing including shelled, roasted, salted or just raw. To find the best peanut producers and purchase the peanuts most popular with your customers, you should:

1. Survey your customers about the types of peanut candies or other food containing peanuts that they prefer in order to help you determine which ones to offer in your food business.

2. Purchase peanuts from a reputable peanut grower that offers quick service and quality guarantees.

3. Ask for wholesale peanuts, shipping discounts and other deals to save money and in turn pass the savings on to your customers.

Decide on the types of peanuts you need for your recipes or treats for gourmet gifts

Before looking for a peanut grower, you should narrow down the varieties of peanuts you need. If you want to leave your options open, find a peanut producer with many offerings and a quick shipping policy to get your custom orders to you quickly. If you have the room or a greenhouse, consider growing peanuts yourself.

Purchase peanuts or peanut seeds from a reputable peanut grower

When looking for a peanut supplier, find one with a large variety of peanuts that are fresh picked. You want a grower who has been in the business awhile and can offer solid references. If you are looking for custom peanuts, find organic peanut growers offering a large variety of peanut breeds and processing applications such as roasting.

Ask for wholesale peanuts, shipping discounts and other deals to save money

Don't be afraid to ask for discounts or purchase through a wholesale peanut grower. You should be entitled to discounts if the peanuts are not fresh, if it's the end of the season, if you are purchasing a large quantity or if you offer to pick up the peanuts instead of having them delivered.

• To save even more money, invest in a peanut roasting machine and roast your own peanuts to each recipe's specification.
