NC-7
A tier
NC-7 is a large-seeded Virginia-type cultivar from North Carolina breeding, built for in-shell and gourmet large kernel markets. Flavour is full and classic. Pods and seeds impress on the crack. Choose NC-7 genetics for premium cocktail peanuts. Excellent salted in-shell. Size grading must match the cultivar’s potential—don’t mix with small runners in fancy packs.
