Taste-wise, these peanuts are really "grassy." By grassy, I mean they taste like grass. I've seen the description "vegetal" defined as "tasting like green bell pepper." These nuts don't taste like a bell pepper. They taste like you're drinking wheat grass. Which isn't a bad thing. It's actually a pretty cool thing. Once you scrape off their beautiful burnished red calypso skin, they look like a malformed, bone-white peanut. I was a little worried they would just taste like regular peanuts, but it's so amazing they have such a unique taste! I feel like there's a vague "American peanut" flavor to them, but just barely.

Plus, they shouldn't affect your peanut allergy. Nutsonline says "Unlike the hybridized peanuts so many people are allergic to, Jungle Peanuts are 100% free of aflatoxin (tested regularly). They are loaded with 40% heart healthy oleic acid and 26% protein (including amino acids like methionine)." They also contain arachidonic acid, a good fatty acid that is normally found only in meat
There's also some interesting research on scientists looking to add new species of wild peanuts to a genetic mapping database.
