These coated peanuts are produced in Israel by Peanuts, a company founded by Eli Mizrahi in Jerusalem’s Machaneh Yehuda market, where stalls are filled with nuts, spices, and snacks that are sold by the scoop. Eli has spent years working in the market, running shops and helping guide its growth.

Each peanut is wrapped in a crisp shell made from flour and sesame, then fried to create a crunchy outer layer that cracks open with each bite. Inside, the peanut maintains its structural integrity, creating a clear contrast between the crunchy coating and the softer center.

The coating is dusted with a modest amount of salt and has a savory profile with a subtle touch of sweetness from the glaze. Sesame seeds add another layer across the surface and give each piece a distinct finish. 

This style of snack is known in Hebrew as “kabukim,” a familiar presence in homes across the country. Set out a bowl and it feels like a table in Jerusalem has already been prepared.

“And you shall eat and be satisfied, and bless the Lord your God for the good land He has given you.”

— Deuteronomy 8:10
