Who are We?
The National Peanut Board (NPB), strives to help America’s 7,000 peanut-farming families put the world’s highest-quality peanut products in the hands of people around the globe. We do this so peanut growers can continue to farm the land that, for many, has been in their family for generations. And through research, marketing & promotion efforts, we are committed to strengthening your love of America’s favorite nut, too.
You see, we may be a little biased. But we think everything is better with peanuts. Baseball is better. A meal is better. On-the-go snacking is better. Your workout is better. That must be why peanuts are more popular than ever. If you are here, it is probably because you share our passion. You have definitely come to the right place!
