"peanuts are salted in the shell simply by soaking them in brine (a mixture of salt and water), then drying them by roasting, leaving a salt residue behind on the nut in the shell. Sometimes a vacuum is used to remove air from the batch before the brine is introduced, but even so the process is fairly basic."
