Roasted Peanut is possibly one of the most versatile of all the Flavors of the Month, as well as the most recognized. In fact, the U.S. consumes, on average, over 1.5 million pounds of peanut butter and peanut products each year. People love the taste of peanuts, especially when they are roasted to bring out their full nutty flavor. Comax Flavors Roasted Peanut brings that fun, familiar and delicious taste to almost any application.
Contrary to its name, the peanut is actually not a nut! It is part of the legume family, related to beans and lentils as it is an edible seed contained in a pod. Referred to as “groundnuts” in some parts of the world, this healthy legume is high in protein, rich in essential vitamins and minerals, and naturally cholesterol-free. It’s no wonder that the average American eats more than six pounds of peanut products each year.
This old time favorite is available from Comax Flavors for almost any application from baking and confectionery to dairy or alcoholic beverage. It is offered as natural, artificial, a natural WONF, a natural flavor that is allergen free as well as an artificial flavor that is allergen free. Whichever way it’s used, Comax Flavors Roasted Peanut flavor delivers an enjoyable, classic taste that is always a crowd-pleaser.
