Peanuts come in many
varieties, there are four basic market types: Runner, Virginia, Spanish
and Valencia. Each of the peanut
types is distinctive in size, flavor, and nutritional composition. Within each four basic types of peanuts, there are several “varieties”
for seed and production purposes. Each variety contains distinct
characteristics which allows a producer to select the peanut that is best suited for its
region and market.

Runner
Runners have
become the dominant type due to the introduction in the early 1970’s of a new
runner variety, the Florunner, which was responsible for a spectacular increase
in peanut yields. Runners have rapidly gained wide acceptance because of the
attractive, uniform kernel size. Fifty-four percent of the runners grown are
used for peanut butter. Runners
are grown mainly in Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Texas and Oklahoma. Runner type peanuts are the most popular peanuts in America.

They rose to prominence in the early 1970s with the introduction of a new variety called the Florunner. The Florunner quickly took off and it and other runner peanuts have since grown to make up the majority of cultivated peanuts, beating out the other major variety, bunching peanuts. Runner peanut varieties are popular for a few reasons. The plants produce consistently high yields.
The kernels are medium in size and uniform in shape. They’re excellent for roasting, but they’re more frequently used for peanut butter, making up over half of the peanut butter production in the United States where they are grown in Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, and Oklahoma. Since 1940, the southeastern US region has seen a shift to production of Runner group peanuts.
This shift is due to good flavour, better
roasting characteristics and higher yields when compared to Spanish types,
leading to food manufacturers' preference for the use in peanut butter and
salted nuts. https://www.ozstarmachinery.com/
