Description

True to their name, Waghya Peanuts are the "Tigers" of the legume world. Named after the Marathi word for tiger, Wagh, these rare, native peanuts feature striking tiger-like stripes on their skin. This is an ancient, heirloom variety that was nearly lost to time, but at Past In Present Agro, we are working with small-scale farmers in Maharashtra to bring this delicacy back to your table.

Grown in limited quantities without the use of harsh synthetic chemicals, Waghya Peanuts are prized for their unique flavor profile—a natural blend of sweet, salty, and deeply buttery notes that intensify when roasted. Based in Jawali, Satara, we ensure these peanuts are handled with the respect they deserve, preserving a piece of our agricultural heritage. When you buy these, you aren’t just getting a snack; you are helping save a rare species from extinction and supporting the traditional farmers who keep our "Past" alive. 🐅🥜✨

You Ask , We answer

Q.Why are they called "Waghya" Peanuts?
A: "Waghya" means Tiger in Marathi. They are named so because of the unique, natural red-and-white stripes on their skin that look like tiger markings.
Q.Are these peanuts genetically modified to get the stripes?
A: No. This is a 100% natural, indigenous heirloom variety. The stripes are a gift from nature, not a result of lab work.
