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.

“I am from Florida too...and one thing I remember as a kid was boiled peanuts. We would stop at the road side vendors and get a warm bag of them. I remember my father saying "the best deal in the south is boiled peanuts at any price".”

“This is nuts! I'm a northerner with the acquired taste of a southerner. For those who know about boiled peanuts, they know its a "southern delicacy". When I searched boiled peanuts I was surprised to see this web-site. Without any hesitation I ordered 12 cans of green boiled peanut patch, boiled peanuts, the kind my grandmother gave me as a snack when I was just a young boy visiting her floridian retreat. I am so excited, now I can give my friends a taste that reminds me of my wonderful childhood days! Thanks nuts online, you've triggered old memories that without you would not have been possible!”

“I'm pretty much a peanut freak! Living in the north I've always had a hard time finding boiled peanuts so one day I did a online search and found Nuts online. When ordering the boiled, I also added salted in the shells. I found a major difference with yours compared to what I find in the local stores. Flavor and freshness are by far better as well as the price! It's been great dealing with Nuts online, Pete”
