Tavazo Shami Pistachio Chips (Crispy Seasoned Peanuts)

Unlike conventional deep-fried peanut snacks, Tavazo utilizes specialized rotary hot-air convective baking tunnels. The kernels receive an ultra-thin micronized coating of pre-gelatinized food starch and salt, flashed with high-velocity dry heat. This expands microscopic air bubbles within the outer crust, achieving a chip-like brittle snap while keeping total fats native to the kernel.

Sourced strictly from the microclimates of Astaneh-ye Ashrafiyeh (Gilan province) and the fertile Moghan plain (Ardabil), these peanuts are globally renowned for high oleic acid content and naturally sweet buttery profiles. Calibrated to 38-42 kernels per ounce, they represent the largest elongated domestic grading available.

Peanuts represent an oilseed inherently susceptible to Aspergillus fungal colonization, requiring rigorous composite testing. Using certified HPLC instrumentation, Tavazo enforces thresholds of Aflatoxin B1 sub-2 ppb and total aflatoxins (B1+B2+G1+G2) sub-4 ppb prior to greenlighting any batch for roasting and packing.

The ultra-crisp coating possesses high thermodynamic hygroscopicity due to its low baseline moisture. Tavazo counters this by packing immediately post-chilling into multi-laminate metallized barrier bags or airtight tinplate cans backflushed with food-grade nitrogen, sustaining crispness with moisture locked below 1.5% for 12 months.

Peanuts represent a major global allergen. All retail and wholesale packaging features bold, multi-lingual mandatory declarations stating "CONTAINS PEANUTS". Manufacturing transpires on dedicated, physically segregated processing lines to eliminate allergen cross-contact with tree nuts.

The baseline wholesale MOQ is 100 master cartons (1,000 kg net weight). Distributed in 10 kg export cartons (configured as twenty 500g pouches or two 5 kg nitrogen-flushed bags), it provides an exceptionally attractive cost-per-kilo margin profile compared to high-tier tree nuts due to direct farm-gate procurement.

Shelf life spans 12 months stored below 18°C in nitrogen-flushed formats. Dispatch lead time for full container loads (FCL) requires 7 to 10 business days post-confirmation, supported across EXW Tabriz, FOB Bandar Abbas, and international CFR port deliveries.
