APP
Hyderabad: The sale of dry fruits, particularly peanuts, is at its peak as the weather has turned chilly due to cold winds.
Vendors are seen selling crispy peanuts in every nook and cranny.
The poor cannot afford most dry fruits because their prices are beyond their reach, but peanuts are the most popular item among them as their rates are comparatively low and affordable for them.
A consumer of peanuts said that among the dry fruits, peanuts are comparatively cheaper and are, therefore, in the reach of common people. “Now buying dry fruits is not possible for the common man, except peanuts, because of their reasonable price.”
Ahmad, a roadside vendor of peanuts in Hyderabad, said that peanuts were mostly used in the winter season to get relief from the cold and argued that due to the normal rates and no price hike, the sale of peanuts is in high demand.
According to health experts, peanuts are nutritious and provide necessary energy to the body.
