Boiled Peanuts

Order now, we'll ship tuesday, may 28

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... A new study by a group of Huntsville researchers found that boiled peanuts bring out up to four times more chemicals that help protect against disease than raw, dry or oil-roasted nuts. These phytochemicals have antioxidant qualities that protect cells against the risk of degenerative diseases, including cancers, diabetes and heart disease.

2. Boiled Peanuts contain resveratol, a plant chemical also found in red wine, which studies have shown to have a protective effect against cancer and heart disease.

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

4. Boiled peanuts are loaded with many vitamins and minerals and are high in plant protein. Also, the fat content is primarily monounsaturated and polyunsaturated.

“Hi to all:
I received my delivery of nuts and nut products today, 6/11/09. First, let me state that everything arrived in perfect condition! Not to mention the promptness at which you processed my order. I ate a can of the boiled peanuts as soon as I got my hands on them. They're everything I expected, and a great deal more. I'm impressed with your company, and very, very satisfied! No complaints here whatsoever! I'll be placing more orders in the future for sure. Glad I found you on the internet.
I must confess, I almost "teared up" when I tasted the boiled peanuts. It took me back to my childhood in South Carolina. You just can't find boiled peanuts anywhere except in the south. WOW! Delicious!!
An extremely satisfied customer,

“I'm a southern gal who is stuck in the snow of the North right now. Nothing comforts my heart ache when I'm missing the South like a warm bowl of boiled peanuts. I am so happy that I found this website! If I mention boiled peanuts up here in the North, these Yankees look at me like I've lost my mind! They can keep their fancy edamame and green tea - nothing will ever top a cold glass of super sweet tea and hot boiled peanuts!!! Thanks ya'll!”
