Given their dedication to breeding the perfect peanut, they know what makes a great snack.
We want to hear from you! What’s your favorite way to eat NC peanuts?

We recently spent an incredible day at the @ncstate Peanut Breeding and Genetics Lab getting a firsthand look at the future of North Carolina peanuts!

ㅤ
🥜 Look & Taste: Aesthetic shell quality, kernel size, and that unmistakable flavor.
🥜 Quality: Optimizing oleic acid content for better heart health and shelf life.
🥜 Resilience: Breeding for yield, drought tolerance, and resistance to pests and disease.
