Peanuts

Runner Inshells

Runner inshell peanuts are runner-type peanuts sold with their kernels enclosed in the pods. Distinguish the market type from the physical form, and compare whole-pod condition, moisture information and intended-use requirements when sourcing a bulk lot.

What inshell means

Inshell peanuts are sold with the pod intact, unlike shelled peanut kernels. The supplied collection member is Runner Inshells. Its name identifies a runner-type offering, but does not by itself establish cultivar, origin, grade or suitability for a particular market.

Inshell product should not automatically be treated as farmers’ stock. Farmers’ stock is a specific unshelled condition that has not been shelled or otherwise altered beyond limited handling; cleaned or graded inshell product may have undergone further processing.

Compare grading and condition

A size description is useful only when its basis is clear. Trade rules may express size by screen measurement or count per pound, which are not interchangeable. Ask for the named grading basis and lot results, along with the applicable tolerances for pod defects and foreign material.

For a bulk offer, review the lot specification and inspection details for maturity or fill, cracked or damaged pods, loose kernels, moisture and visible mold or unusual odor. A grade name alone does not report every condition of the offered lot.

Match documentation to the intended market

Before purchase, establish the intended use and destination, then check that the offered product and its documentation meet those requirements. For food use, ask for lot-specific aflatoxin testing details, including the sampling and test method, as well as relevant inspection or grade records. Confirm packaging and storage history when planning receiving and storage.

Common questions.

Are Runner Inshells the same as farmers’ stock peanuts?+

Not necessarily. Farmers’ stock describes a particular minimally altered unshelled condition. Inshell peanuts may have been cleaned, sorted or graded, so confirm the processing and product condition for the lot.

What should a peanut size grade specify?+

It should identify the grading rule and measurement basis, such as screen size or count per pound. Request the lot results and applicable defect tolerances before comparing offers.

What quality information should I request for a lot?+

Request a current lot specification and inspection details, including the grading basis, pod condition, foreign material and moisture. For food use, also request relevant lot-specific food-safety testing documentation.

Does the Runner Inshells name establish a particular end use?+

No. The name alone does not establish the lot’s intended market or suitability. Check product condition, inspection and testing documents against your use and destination requirements.
