Not every peanut feeder is designed for nuts still in their shell, and a loose, shelled peanut is the format that suits an open mesh feeder or a bird table rather than a shell-specific hopper.

Johnston & Jeff select from Runner or Virginia peanut varieties, avoiding lower grades, and describe every batch as fresh and free from mould and infestation. Typical protein is 23%, with a calorific value of 540 kcals per 100g.

On the format. Unlike this brand's in-shell monkey nuts, these are loose shelled peanuts — worth checking against your feeder type, since a shell-specific hopper won't suit loose nuts the way a mesh feeder will.

Who it's for: anyone feeding regularly and in volume, who wants a large bag of a single high-energy nut rather than a small mixed bag, and whose feeder takes loose peanuts.
