Hello peepz....pls i'm planning to send some groundnuts to a frnd who stays oversea and am considering how to preserve it to retain the quality......but i observe they mostly use bottles and not plastics to preserve it.....but bottle would cost a lot of money to send cause of the weight.....pls any reason for using bottle??

I think they use glass bottle because they want it to look more attractive!
But You can put it anything that you like!

Anything airtight will be ok eg 4 litter Jerry can. We have big bottles too. Also paint bucket can do. In that case, use a thicker bread wrapper to conceal the groundnuts. I like those chemical or drug containers cos of their thick plastic gauge. Check market or hospitals or Chemists - Drug stores. Lastly, don't peel the nuts after frying

No matter what you use, make sure you seal it tightly to avoid air from getting to it. I think glass bottle preserves it better.

Oh really?....any advantages of not peeling it?...

yes
Peeled nuts absorbs air easily than ones with peels. The consumer will peel n eat. that's why only fast selling shops. at motor parks n market retailers are ones that peel to sell. Ordinary shops don't peel. Confirm
