Abstract
Disclosed is an improved process for preparing low-fat nuts, such as peanuts, wherein the nuts are initially moistened, and then roasted at a temperature and for a time effective to develop a roasted flavor and color and to obtain a uniform moisture content of about 3.5 to 8% prior to pressing them to remove a limited amount of the oil. After the initial roasting, the nuts are preferably blanched. The pressed nuts, from which is removed from about 20 to about 60% of the oil, are hydrated to a moisture content sufficient to cause the nuts to regain approximately their normal shape during a final roasting which fully develops the flavor and color of the nuts.
