High Oleic Peanuts contain a higher amount of Oleic Acid (“Good Fats”) compared to regular peanuts. They are used as snack foods, or prepared for peanut oil / peanut butter / peanut paste. Nunya Farms has specifically chosen High Oleic Peanuts over regular peanuts for several reasons:
Potential Health Benefits
- Better fatty acid profile versus regular peanuts and other edible oils – higher in Oleic Acid (“Good Fats”) and lower in Linoleic Acid (“Bad Fats”)
- Lower sugar and sucrose content versus regular peanuts
- Anti-oxidant properties
- Helps reduce total cholesterol and blood pressure
Improved flavor
- Better flavor quality and lower levels of off-flavors over regular peanuts
Shelf Life Benefits
- Up to 14 times longer shelf life – therefore has storage and distribution advantages
- Planning –
Rice

Rice is a staple food in many countries of Africa and constitutes a major part of the diet in many others.
During the past three decades the crop has seen consistent increases in demand and its growing importance is evident in the strategic food security planning policies of many countries.
Palm Oil

Palm Oil is an edible vegetable oil derived from the mesocarp (reddish pulp) of the fruit of the oil palms.
Nunya Farms takes a responsible and sustainable approach which aims to produce palm oil without causing deforestation or harming local communities.
