What a peanut count means

Peanut count grades describe the number of kernels in one ounce, or 28.35 grams. A 24/28 grade means that approximately 24 to 28 kernels make up one ounce. Lower count ranges generally indicate larger kernels, while higher count ranges indicate smaller kernels.

Count is a purchasing reference rather than a complete quality specification. Buyers should also confirm kernel type, moisture, processing level, packing and destination-market requirements.
