Peanut burger business is another fast money business just like chin-chin. This is a mixture of groundnut also known as peanut with flour etc. I shall be interchanging the two in the course of this write-up.
Someone said with food business you never can go wrong. Living things generally cannot do without food and man in particular. Most times whatever is available at a particular time becomes food. Little wonder why people rush snacks instead of searching round for food. Example of such people are those who goes to stadium to watch match etc. Snacks automatically becomes their immediate food.
The peanuts supplied to markets are not enough often times it will be scarce for weeks even up to a month before the next supply will come. Meanwhile you can count the number of peanuts brands in the market. At least in my location I can only mention only but two.
So peanut burger business is not crowded. The first product burger has been there for such a long time before it started having a few competitors. Yet it is not enough judging from Nigeria’s population I think we need more peanut burger companies because the few we have cannot cover everywhere for now their concentration is on major towns and cities what happened to those in other cities and rural environment who would have loved to snack about with this product. This is one of the reasons I am writing this post giving clarion call that more people should be involved in producing delicious peanut burger for our teeming population. Young and industrious people..
In this post I shall be highlighting on; how to prepare peanuts burger in Nigeria, ingredients needed for the production, burger packaging, profitability, marketability and finally why you should do the business.
It should be noted here that Ghana peanut burger production is the same with that of Nigeria is just that the production started in Ghana before Nigeria. As a matter of fact the burger the first peanut in Nigeria is produced in Ghana.
HOW TO START PEANUT BURGER BUSINESS IN NIGERIA
- You have to go for training from an experience and successful confectionary. You can also attempt it after researching on how to from materials , you can do trial and error until you get it. But with the steps I have outlined in this post you should be able to make a tasty peanut burger without stress.
- The next thing to do is to map out a plan to follow such as the quantity to produce, i always advice people to start a business which they are new in small-scale after which the can expand after gaining much experience.
- Another thing is the target market although it is not difficult to identify but still write it down so you can follow it to the latter when supplying. Others are; the amount to start with, packaging to use etc.
ITEMS NEEDED FOR PEANUT BURGER PRODUCTION BUSINESS
- Groundnut 4 cups
- Flour 4 cups
- Sugar 4 tablespoon
- Egg 4
- Salt ½ teaspoon
- Baking powder 1 teaspoon
- Groundnut oil for deep-frying
- Flavour 2 drops or as desired (optional)
OTHERS ARE
- Frying pan
- Frying spoon
- Containers/packaging
- Sealing machine
- Bowls
- Tray
- Source of fire
PROCEDURE
- Sieve flour into a clean bowl add salt, sugar and baking powder. Mix them together (all the dry ingredients)
- Take another small bowl break the eggs into it and whisk until it becomes watery.
- Carry another bigger bowl and pour tour groundnut into it. Soak the peanut in hot water for 15 minutes after you must have selected bad groundnut, stones and dirt out. Wash and allow water to drain. Pour salt and mix with the peanut spray them in a tray or flat surface to dry.
- Smear 4 tablespoon of whisked egg add flavour it and turn or twirl. Make sure you hold the edge of the bowl and rotate the groundnut use your hand to separate any nut that gum together. Until all the groundnut are coated with the egg. Pour flour into it and twirl, do this little by little until everything is well mixed.
- Put your frying pan on fire pour groundnut oil into it and allow the oil to be hot, then deep fry the peanuts burger until golden brown. Pack them out from the oil into a colander or any other draining material. Pour them on a flat surface to get cold. Package your peanut burger for sale.
NOTE
It is only fresh groundnut that can be used for this purpose.
The reason for twirling the contents is for the groundnut to be uniformly coated, without any excess flour.
For the peanut to be smooth do them in batches and rub the egg mixture before frying. The egg mixture in turn binds the flour to the nuts
Do not use too much flour.
PACKAGING
Na this one be the koko. Try and use a packaging material that is attractive. Burger actually did well by making their packaging attractive for people to have patronized them even when they were yet to consume such product before. The recent peanut burger in town now. COFCO I so much like their product apart from the fact that their peanut is always very fresh and good their packaging is the bon
In other to beat or penetrate the market where some big companies have been making waves for decades you must have to up your game by starting with an appealing packaging.
Approach people who are into the business of deigning packaging materials to do that for you. Is not anywhere in the market for you to buy. You can use different materials for your packaging such as cups, containers and nylon. The kind of packaging you use will attract people to your product.
And since you are just starting why don’t you go for something that both the rich, the average and the poor can have a bite.
WHY YOU SHOULD GO INTO PEANUT BURGER BUSINESS IN NIGERIA
- It is very easy and straight forward to produce.
- Peanut burger business does not require huge amount of money for a start.
- The ingredients used can be sourced locally
- Peanut burger is a very good business with high profit
- Anybody can do the business it doesn’t require special qualification for it.
- It is consumed by all, there are no restrictions due to any belief etc.
- Groundnut burger is a business that can be done at home.
- Peanut burger is a sustainable business because no day passes without people consuming it in large numbers.
- People serve them in occasions as; appetizers, souvenirs, others just like snacking around with it. This means there is a ready market for it and that is why peanut production will continue to thrive.
PROFITABILITY
The profit in peanut burger business relies solely on overturn. The more you produce and sell the more gain you stand to gain. To maximize profit you must learn to buy things in bulk such as sugar, flour, groundnut (in bags) etc.
Snacks generally are very profitable, it can provide from 70%-100% and over. Take chin chin business for instance the profit is high. IN case you want to venture into it you check it out and read, is one of my early post. Peanut burger business is more profitable than chin chin, I stand to be corrected. It is a business that is not crowded. You don’t add all the ingredients used in chin chin in peanut.
TIPS
Make sure you use a tasty groundnut. There are different varieties of groundnut but the small ones are said to be tastier than others. Groundnut is what makes peanut burger please select bad or spoilt ones away bad groundnut means bad burger.
Produce only quantities you can sell quickly, remember the more groundnut stays the more it get spoilt. So always produce fresh and tasty peanut burgers. Use vegetable oil that is best suited for frying not the ones that the nuts can drink.
You can mix different flavours until you arrive at a unique taste. You can also spice up your burger with ginger, pepper etc. Or produce a sugar-free burger for diabetic patients or people who don’t like sugar instead use honey.
Once you start your peanut burger production please don’t go down on the taste and always make the product available in the market before another person on sits you.
HOW MUCH IS NEEDED TO START PEANUT BURGER BUSINESS
If you are starting peanut burger in a small-scale #20,000 can start that up that means you will buy the ingredients on a retail price meaning the profit wont be much compared to buying in bulk. Medium will be from #200,000 while large-scale will be from #1,000,000 and above. This will involve getting a car and hiring a driver, marketing staff, production staff etc.
CHALLENGES OF PEANUT BURGER BUSINESS
One of these will be competitors especially those who have been in peanut burger business for a long time. And has already made a name in the market. To overcome this, use good packaging, increase the quantity in each pack and produce a tasty peanut burger.
Increase in the prices of ingredients used in producing them.
Not exhausting already produced burger fast. Which can give rise to change of taste because the more it stays the more exposed the groundnut are to spoilage.
MARKETABILITY
Locate schools and be supplying your peanut burger to them. Others are; churches, markets, supermarkets, shops, roadside vendors especially those selling in the traffic etc.

It doen’t need preservative just like chin chin can stay for 3 months is the same thing for peanut because they share the same recipe except for grountnut in burger. But if you feel you still need preservative then use food preservatice that is safe for human consumption just like the one used in cake.
Make sure you use good oil for frying and lastly fry them very dry.

And only quality will survive the business. Apart from the fact that the egg helps to hold the flour to the groundnut it also add taste to the snacks.

Yea@Salmat use raw groundnut no need to roast it first since you will fry the peanuts

Hello @Gift, check the groundnut oil you are using. The peanut has to be golden brown just like chin chin
My peanut is soft and want it to be strong or crispy .help ma
Hello @Deborah, you have to check the number of eggs you are using 2 is enough for 4 or 5 cups of flour
Thank you ma for this write up. Please my challenge is my peanut not being crunchy and my customers are complaining about it. Please ma how many eggs and cups of flour and sugar do I need to use for one(1) derica of groundnut? Again, if the groundnut is not dry, does it affect the crunchiness of the peanut? Thank you.
Please let uour groundnut dry. Follow my steps in the post. Egg should not be reduced
Wow nice article ma am into the peanut business already but I have a challenge after coating my peanut I noticed it begins to clog together so in the process of separating them the shape is disfigured I don’t know what to do cos it’s really affecting the look of my peanut
Thanks for the compliment, ensure you rob enough egg on it before frying, they will separate by themselves. Watch videos on YouTube, it will help
What kind of groundnut oil will be good for it?
Any undiluted vegetable oil example kings
I use kings, it doesn’t foam. It’s very good. mixing it is tedious so having a coating machine will help a great deal. Where can i get a small affordable one
check online, example jiji
can someone add butter when making peanut
You can add is a matter of choice
Please is it a must to run the groundnut through with hot water and allow to dry before frying
If I don’t do that will it have any effect on the peanuts after frying.
Can nutmeg and milk flavour be used at once
@Chidera, It is not a must. Yes
Ma pls 4 half paint of groundnut hw many amound of flour nd eggs shud be used
Comment:hello ma! is it necessary to first fry and peel the groundnut before following the other steps in making peanuts? what quantity of egg and flour will I use for 1 paint of g/nut?
No@Vivian
Pls ma can I use milk and egg at the same time
Yes, you can add ingredients as you desire but being commercial you have to produce it in such a way you wont loose and the nuts are still tasty as well.
Also,can I use plastic bowl
Yes. You can@Tunde
Pls ma my peanuts doesn’t come out smooth what could be the problem or what can be done to make it smooth

Good morning Eno
I tried it but the peanut I was soft, it’s not as strong and crunchy like the ones I buy in the market. please how can I rectify this
If you can do chin chin then you can do peanut the difference is just the groundnut added to it
MA I did the peanut and give to some people selling but they are complaining that the peanut is soft, that it’s supposed to be strong and crunchy
Very true, control the amount of butter and egg you use. It shouldn’t be too much
God bless you ma…. You have blessed lives by your various post and God will favour you in Jesus Name Amen
Amen. Thank you so much????
Pls ma the one I did is well coated but the frying is giving me issues if I say I should leave it till when is golden brown it will get burnt but if I remove it when its done it will give me one kind of light color or yellowish at times and the groundnut inside wont done
The fire is too high, try and regulate it ir leave it at average
Thank you so much ma for this post. Please ma, the cup you use, is it the baking cup?
@Oluchi milk cup
Between using groundnut oil to fry peanut and using oven. Which one is the best and which one is the fastest.
Oven is more economical, fire is faster than oven because of the reductio in °F so the peanut can be well cooked
Thank you ma for the great work you are doing here.

I did mine but it batches though; But I discovered that the peanut burger has different colours which makes it UNATTRACTIVE.

@Cynthia, I think it has to do with the hotness of the oil, if you can fry chin chin then you can do peanut. The bilk of the work lies in coating others are just like doing chin chin
Ma most times I fry my peanuts the groundnut is not well cooked inside. How do I achieve a well cooked groundnut. And also if I am to add butter where will i put it, the oil or the egg mix? Thanks in anticipation
please fry it at a steady temperature of medium heat so everything can be fried at the same time. why do you want to add butter. just add as you will do if you were preparing chin chin
