Japanese-style peanuts

Japanese-style peanuts are a type of snack food invented in Mexico, made from peanuts that are coated in a wheat flour dough and then fried or roasted. They are also known as Japanese peanuts, cracker nuts, or snacking peanuts in English, cacahuates japoneses or maní japonés in Spanish, and by various other names in different countries. They come in a variety of different flavors. The Mexican version's recipe for the extra-crunchy shell has ingredients such as wheat flour, soy sauce, water, sugar, monosodium glutamate, and citric acid. The snacks are often sold in sealed bags, but can also be found in bulk containers.
