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.

“Boiled peanuts! We live way up north, and rarely get far enough south to get any boiled peanuts. It finally occurred to me to buy them online, and we are thrilled!! Finally we can have them whenever we want!”

Steven P Krimbill, Petoskey, MI July 28, 2011

“Thanks Nuts Online ! My order arrived just as promised !

I'll be ordering again soon to replenish my boiled green peanuts in the kitchen pantry.

I noticed that the cans have a pull tab opening, no can opener needed ! These will surely be included on my next camping trip.

I loved the suggestion on the can that says warm them, never knew that (I lived in FL and always bought them fresh boiled but cold in a brown sack from a little roadside stand).

Mmm- They will be a great snack warmed over the campfire!”

“I love NUTS ONLINE!! Great Price, Super fast shipping, and oh! I got a package of veggie chips (how did they know they were my favorite?) with my order! Amazing. I ordered canned boiled peanuts, and cajun boiled peanuts both of which are absolutely delicious. I will definitely be repeating my order (with more veggie chips) when I finish this supply) ”

“I arrived home from work to find my package of boiled peanuts waiting for me. I used to live in Tennessee and really missed boiled peanuts since moving to Michigan 10 years ago. Your ordering process, prices, and shipping were excellant. I also appreciate the free sample of veggie chips! Thanks for a job well done.”

Delicious. I will definitely order from you again. Thanks so much for offering all these goodies online. We southern food lovers need a place we can go to, to buy our favorites.
