Boiled Peanuts

Order now, we'll ship tomorrow

Boiled peanuts are a tasty snack and a favorite food of the South. Their distinct salty taste comes from boiling green peanuts, still in the shell, in salt water. The boiling process releases flavors and nutrients from the peanut shell, making the nuts soft, fresh, and flavorful. Our boiled peanuts are canned only hours after being picked, so they retain their delicious taste.

Boiled peanuts have been a cultural tradition of the Southern United States since at least the Civil War, when Confederate soldiers would use salt water to boil and preserve the "goober peas" they were given as rations. Today, these peanuts are still extremely popular in the South, and were even proclaimed the official snack food of South Carolina in 2006. During the summer months, families, neighbors, and friends throughout the South often gather to boil peanuts together and enjoy them outdoors over a cold drink.

Our boiled peanuts come from the popular Margaret Holmes Peanut Patch brand, in 7.5 oz dried weight cans (these used to be called Roddenberry). To enjoy the boiled peanuts, drain the brine from the can and shell the peanuts. For extra flavor, try heating the peanuts in the liquid after opening the can. Boiled Peanuts Health Bits & Bites 1. Breaking News from Alabama A&M University's Department of Food and Animal Sciences...

3. Major studies have found eating peanuts can lower the risk of heart disease, cut the risk of diabetes and assist dieters.

“Growing up in Fisher, LA boiled peanuts was a favorite treat that we looked forward to each year. My Uncle raised them and my Momma boiled them up. Since living in Michigan for the last 40 years this is the only way I can get that wonderful "comfort food" any more. Thank you so much!”

“I used to live in Florida and bought canned boiled peanuts in the grocery store all the time. Now that I am in CT, no one has ever even heard of boiled peanuts. I am so excited that I finally decided to search online for them...AND found Roddenberry's. Can't wait for them to be delivered and heat up a can, yumm yumm! I can taste them already =)”

Ellen, West Haven, CT February 24, 2013

“Boiled peanuts. Shipped quickly. Taste totally fantabulous!!!! After one day already ordered two more cases. ”

Pam, Queens, New York February 6, 2013

“This company is amazing! Delivery is on time, packaging is immaculate and the product quality is the best possible.
The pili nuts, boiled peanuts, and sugar free gummy bears are the best I've ever had. The pili nuts have that light creamy texture that is unique and tastefully different from any other nuts. The boiled peanuts taste fresh and each shell is a burst of briny nutty nuggets. The sugar free gummy bears are a healthy alternative from the sugary ones available on the stores.
Thank you Nuts.com for what you do! You show a lot of pride with what you are doing and truly treat your customers like family.”
