Ever had that, when you’re eating some peanuts you tend to go for the full ones first before the half ones…. They taste better…. But why?

Maybe whole peanuts have less air-contact? It could be that half peanuts get more stale than whole peanuts.

It’s the little nub inside a whole peanut. It’s the embryo of the seed and it has a much more flavorful kick to it.
