Definition
Shelled peanut; a peanut kernel.

How it's used
Refers specifically to the edible kernel inside the shell, distinguishing it from the whole peanut which is simply called 花生. It is commonly used in cooking contexts, such as when preparing soup or stir-fry dishes where the shell would be an obstruction. While 花生米 is also understood, 花生肉 is the more precise term for the meat of the nut itself.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 花生醬 which is peanut butter. Using 花生肉 to refer to the entire peanut including the shell is incorrect, as it specifically denotes the kernel.
