Shelled Runner Peanuts from Germany
Shelled Runner peanuts, a popular variety for peanut butter production, are raw ground-nuts that have been shelled but not roasted, cooked, or otherwise prepared. Classified under HTS 1202.42.9040 for other shelled peanuts, they are broken or whole as harvested and used in confectionery or oil extraction. This ensures distinction from in-shell or processed forms.
