PeanuTend

The name PeanuTend (布田, Bùtián) not only has the phonetic play on words resembling “不甜” (meaning “not sweet”) but also represents the philosophy of natural and healthy foods. PeanuTend traditional peanut candy is a famous treat from Bangka, Taipei, roasted slowly over low heat using old-fashioned methods for over half a century. This technique results in a crispy texture without the excessive heatiness found in quick-fry methods. The shop carefully selects full-bodied, aromatic peanuts from Beigang, Taiwan, and uses a unique low-sugar technique to handcraft snacks that are not too sweet, not greasy, not sticky to the teeth, and not sticky to the hands—pure, additive-free natural snacks that release the fragrant taste of the earth with every bite.

The four main products—peanut candy and sesame candy, which are crispy and crunchy, and Gong candy and almond candy, which are tender and non-sticky—are all the result of years of refined craftsmanship, preserving the essence of the land and the warmth of human connections. The first-generation founder once said, “Making candy is like being a person; you must do it with conscience to achieve completeness
