Fried peanuts are crispy when left for a few hours

Fried peanuts are relatively brittle when left for 2-3 hours, and the specific time is affected by factors such as temperature, humidity, and storage methods.

When fried peanuts are first cooked, the high temperature oil has not completely solidified, resulting in a soft texture. After being left for 2-3 hours, as the temperature drops and water evaporates, a brittle film of surface oil forms, reaching the optimal brittleness. Using sealed containers to store can delay moisture absorption and avoid contact with high humidity environments to maintain brittleness for a longer period of time. If stored for more than 6 hours or in an environment with high humidity, peanuts are prone to absorbing moisture from the air, leading to softening. In the hot and humid environment of summer, it is recommended to store fried peanuts in a sealed food desiccant or in a cool and ventilated place. Repeated heating can cause oil oxidation, affecting taste and nutritional value.

It is recommended to fry and eat immediately to ensure the best taste. If you need to store, you can choose to pack and freeze, and reheat at low temperature in an oven before consumption. Avoid using plastic bags for storage, it is recommended to use covered glass jars or ceramic containers. Adding a small amount of salt can enhance the flavor, but hypertensive patients need to control their intake. Pay attention to moderate daily consumption. Peanuts have a high calorie content, and it is recommended to consume no more than 30 grams per day.
