Aldebaran Commodities

Peanut

The peanut (or to be precise, Arachis hypogea), also known as groundnut, has been our number one commodity from the very beginning. From the 40.000 tons that we import, the peanut is by far the biggest commodity. We can provide both edible, organic and feed market with this commodity.

Eating peanuts regularly may have a positive impact on our risk of heart disease and diabetes, as well as increase our intake of fiber and vitamin E. Peanuts provide more than 25% of the total protein and healthy fats in a typical diet.
