Whitworths Roasted Peanuts in Shell

Whitworths Roasted Peanuts in Shell are a staple savory snack in the United Kingdom, traditionally enjoyed in whole shell form (also known as monkey nuts). Sourced from peanut-growing agricultural regions such as the United States, Argentina, China, or Egypt, the raw in-shell peanuts are imported, quality-graded, and roasted/packaged in the UK.

Whitworths was founded in 1886 by the three Whitworth brothers—John, Herbert, and Arthur—in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire. Originating as a flour milling firm, Whitworths later expanded into dried fruit, nuts, and baking ingredients, evolving into one of Britain's most recognizable brands for healthy snacks and pantry essentials.

In 2017, Whitworths was acquired by Anatolia Agricultural Products (Anatolia Tarım), a prominent Turkish producer and exporter of dried fruits and nuts. Anatolia Tarım is headquartered in İzmir, Turkey, and operates Whitworths as an international subsidiary while maintaining its primary processing and distribution operations in the United Kingdom.
