Boiled Peanuts

Order now, we'll ship today!

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.

“The boiled peanuts are the best.. I shared with staff of the Ashland, Oregon Chamber of Commerce, folks who had never heard of boiled peanuts. They loved them. The samples of Veggie Chips are also a hit.”

“I served in the US Navy from 83 to 89. Three of those years were spent in Beaufort SC. That is where I first tried Boiled Peanuts. Once you've had boiled peanuts, you'll never forget it. I looked online, to hopefully, find a supplier of the incredible treat. Nuts Online came up first and had great reviews. So I thought I'd give them a try. So glad I did, and also purchased two batches of the Veggie Chips ( my wife can't stop eating them). Great service, and reasonable delivery time by fedEx. I would absolutley recommend Nuts Online to my friends and family.”

“Years ago I was in Florida and bought a can of boiled peanuts. Loved them so bought a case. Hadn't been back in so long, always loved the boiled peanuts so thought I would look on line. Sure enough, and they are the exact brand I had so long ago. As soon as they arrived I had to open a can. The Years melted away and I was in Heaven. So glad I can get them on line. Now will never be without them for long. And the vegetable chips you sent were out of this world awesome. Too bad too little, the wife and I were fighting over them. Now there is something else I have to order. Will have to be a steady customer now.”
