Peanut Masala

Peanuts coated in a spiced besan batter and fried, made with certified organic ingredients and cold-pressed oil per the brand. Of everything in this snack range this is the one with the most going for it nutritionally, because the peanut inside is doing real work — protein, monounsaturated fat and niacin — rather than the snack being pure fried starch. That does not make it a health food; the batter and the frying still dominate the calorie count. Two things to note. Groundnuts carry an aflatoxin risk when stored damp, and no aflatoxin result is published for this SKU, which is worth requesting given how thorough Pure & Sure's testing is elsewhere. And it contains peanuts, a major allergen, which matters for anyone sharing a household with someone sensitised, since airborne peanut dust from an opened packet is enough to cause a reaction in the most severe cases. The standard range-level caveat also applies: cold-pressed oil is claimed across their snacks rather than named on this specific listing.
