Started boiling peanuts last year once I found a source of green ones. Loved them so much I started growing my own. No easy feat here in Eastern Canada but they are doing fantastic. I'll wait till after the first couple of frosts before I harvest.

[@jooreuable]

Where are you?? I need to go raid your peanuts!

[@RobertJones-ey9qz]

My first time trying boiled peanuts was a couple years back. Being from the north, I didn't know what you were supposed to do with them. I ate some of them and was in the truck stop a little later and the young lady asked me how I liked them. (I had mentioned never having them before when I purchased them) I said they were okay, but awful chewy. She gave me a funny look and asked, "You did shell them didn't you?" I said, "I thought that was why you boiled them, so you could eat the shells." She shook her head no and we both started laughing. Guess I'll know better next time. lol Another interesting video, keep them coming. Have a good day.

Hey, Jeff: Up here in Indiana, we have to import our peanuts, so glad you gave us Northerners another lesson in Southern Country Living! Don't hurt that arm, deer season coming!!! Still praying for you Buddy!!

[@1982MCI]

叶江 Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia mainly. I know it’s not the importing your thinking of but anytime something is sent cross the Mason Dixon line then it’s considered exporting to the southern states and importing to those poor Yankees in the other side of the line, bless their hearts ♥️!!! They just had no clue what they had to grow up without but once they did we’ve been exporting to them by the burlap sack full!! Lol 😆

[@LouisFPak]

Thanks for the informative video! I always wondered how it was done! As a Northerner, when I saw my first "Boiled Peanut" sign I was shocked. Sounded...crazy! Now I love em! Fast forward 10 years later, in the pandemic, I miss them, and was looking to cook up a batch myself. Thanks for taking the time to make the video!

[@abs828]

hate to disappoint but this aint how it is done---no crab boil!!!! these are not crab nuts.

I've always wanted to try boiled peanuts! Didn't realize it was that easy to make. Thanks Jeff.

[@henryhawkins1194]

I moved to Ft. Myers FL in 1981. A man down here from South Georgia owned a corner store and sold boiled peanuts 🥜 cooked in a crock pot with smoked ham hocks, neckbones, and jalapeño 🌶. I still live in Ft. Myers, and I still buy Dave's famous boiled peanuts.

[@neotoxo54]

A man after my heart...I can eat boiled peanuts ‘til I flounder. My BNL & I do them up in a pressure cooker. 10 minutes a batch then release the pressure. I’ve also pressure canned them in quart mason jars. Same time span but have to let them cool down without releasing pressure to keep the liquid from boiling out. 25#s will yeild about 4 cases of quart jars and last me about a year. 😉. Like spicing them with jalapeños or Tabasco or Valentina Mexican hot sauce. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@scottcunningham3110]

Awesome Jeff! Thanks for showing us how it’s properly done.

[@bradpauley1515]

Very interesting stuff there Jeff! I'm from TN and I hadn't every really tried any Good boiled peanuts till a couple years ago. I went to Florida on vacation and seen stands after we got into to middle to south Georgia. So we stopped at a stand that had fruit/vegetables and boiled peanuts and fresh pork skins. Man oh man, talk about good! We got some regular and some hot/cajun boiled peanuts and some hot/cajun pork skins. We ate on them the whole way home. They sure are good when you get them that fresh. But stay safe take care that arm!. God Bless y'all. Pricate y'all !! Thanks

[@aljackson7330]

Those are so good! Being from up north, I can't get them.😒 when I go south, those are the first thing I look for! Great video!

Looks awesome Jeff. My first time tasting them was in Monroe Louisiana with one of best friends. We were stationed together in Florida traveling to Texas. Awsome experience. God bless from west Texas. Thanks for sharing your video with us.

[@parrotbill9072]

Boiled Peanuts are great! There is something else that tastes like boiled Peanuts. I was out trying to learn to forage and found wild radishes. I identified it first by the flowers, it was to late in the season, the roots went to wood. The leaves taste good, but the texture is like sandpaper. The only thing left to try was the seed pods. So I boiled them up and found they taste just like boiled peanuts. They work great for a garnish on a salad, just boil them, chop them up and toss them in a salad. You should try them sometime, sure you will like them.

Had to comment on this video as I'm from Georgia, now living in Kansas! Have to buy canned boiled peanuts! Not the same but close as I can get. Grew up eating boiled peanuts and absolutely love them as much as oysters on the half. Truly miss living in the South!

[@BirdYoumans]

@@williambrownjr2346 Yep! Good stuff. We cooked up some just salty, added heat (red pepper) to some and ate some hot from the cooker and froze a bunch for the winter. It's amazing how many come in a bushel. And you are correct, people who only have the canned ones to go by still don't know what the good "stuff" is! But if you can't get the fresh ones, the canned ones will do in a pinch. Just make sure they say green peanuts. Those that are dried and then reconstituted by soaking in water just don't cut it once you know what the real thing tastes like.
