Different nuts require different roasting profiles:
| Nut Type | Temperature | Time | Key Indicators |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peanuts | 160-180°C | 15-20 min | Golden brown, fragrant |
| Cashews | 130-150°C | 10-15 min | Light golden, no discoloration |
| Almonds | 150-170°C | 12-18 min | Even golden, fragrant |
| Walnuts | 120-140°C | 10-15 min | Light color, nutty aroma |
| Pistachios | 140-160°C | 10-15 min | Split shells, golden kernels |
Cooling and Storage
Rapid cooling after roasting stops the cooking process and prevents over-roasting. Proper storage (cool, dry, airtight) maintains freshness and extends shelf life.
