How to Make Boiled Peanuts | Fresh from the Backyard Garden!

Earlier this year we planted an entire 30' row of Valencia Red Peanuts so that we could have our own boiled peanuts fresh from the backyard garden. We checked those peanuts a couple weeks ago and they're finally ready to harvest.
Join us as we harvest the entire 30' row of Valencia peanuts, pick the peanuts off the plants, and boil a huge pot of them. We'll show you the easy way we like to make boiled peanuts and also discuss other ways to cook boiled peanuts if you don't have a big pot or a propane burner.

Boiled peanuts done right is a southern tradition. As a kid I'd spend all day pulling up peanut plants so we could make some of the greatest boiled peanuts I've ever had. My step fathers family had been making boiled peanuts for generations starting in south Carolina. Nothing better than hot or cold salty boiled peanuts. .

[@tommyconner1467]

The yeast in the beer gives it texture and helps with the salt penetrating the 🥜

[@tommyconner1467]

The best boil peanuts are when you take them out of the ground and wash them and let them soak for a few hours and then barely crack each shell so the water and salt can get in there, and then put them in hot water in your pot, put you a can of Budweiser and put a little salt to start, let them boil for about an hour, but keep them stirred and then check for softness, and see if needed more salt.

[@williamogle1046]

Love me some good boiled peanuts

[@angelicatitus]

Love me some boiled peanuts!

[@lavernfoy4591]

Yippee for boiled peanuts!!! Nothing better!

[@boilednuts]

I typically add star anise seed (adds a somewhat licorice favor) and rock salt to my water. In Hawaii, this mixture is the most popular. Split the shell just a bit at the pointy end of the peanuts to allow the water to enter inside the shell while its cooking. Bring the pot to a boil, leave covered for 70-80 (my preference) minutes then its ready. The flavor is incredible. The water gets inside the shell and cooks the peanut faster and minimizes the use of salt. Come to Hawaii and try some...hmmm, hmmm good!

[@angiedryden2777]

I about died when you said stop at the one with less teeth!! 🤣🤣

Brother I’m sure you and I could polish off that whole pot haha I’m like you I crave those little jokers. I call them country caviar like a lotta folks yours looked great. I’ll try growing some even thong the farmers market not far from me has them almost year round. Cheers!

[@gitatit4046]

Travis a little story on peanuts. My wife and I found a single PN plant 3 years ago growing by one of our fruit trees. We have no idea how it got there so just figured the crows brought it in from a fairly nearby field. My wife transplanted it in the garden, we saved the PN (seed), planted about a 4-to-6-foot row from them last year and then this year we have both a 60' row of them and an 80' row. Needless to say we are eating boiled PN, roasted PN, glazed PN, PN brittle and you name it - they DO multiply quickly. Love'em boiled! Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@LazyDogFarm]

Wow! That's wonderful that you've been able to keep them going like that.

[@LowcountryGardener]

I wish I was there eating those boiled peanuts. Salt is all I need in my peanuts. Once done cooking, I like to turn the fire off and let them soak for an hour or two. Now I'm craving them. Oh yea, Need a beer or 12 too. 😀

[@charlescourtney4412]

Before I started growing my own, I used to buy my boiled peanuts from this little place in Old Town, Florida, called Maria's Dixie Nut House and Bait. Yum! Now I'm looking at pulling up 130 row feet of peanuts over the next month. I will save some for seed and boil most of the rest. I will, however, set some aside to make peanut butter and roast some for my Yankee wife who had a deprived childhood with respect to the proper way to cook peanuts.

I've always been known for thinking out of the box so yep, jumped the gun on my well hardened off zone 7 Broccoli, Cauliflower, Cabbage, shoot ~ even Brussel Spouts. 🤣Hitting a hundred degrees the last few days and got a few days left to go. I've been keeping the soils cooled off by watering in the blasting full sun heat. I'm surprised they are still standing. Checked soil temp regularly and they're staying cool, hopefully cool enough. Hehe! Bolt on ol' son! PS: Send me some of those finished boiled peanuts. They'd be a good snack while I till in these bolted transplants for cover crop rye, turnips, and peas. 🤣🤣

[@dougsr]

From my many years of boiling Valencia peanuts, I learned as the water cools in the pot, the more the peanuts absorb the salt.

That's true. It's not necessarily about how much salt you add, but the soak time.

I use 1/3 container of salt for 4 lbs of peanuts. Boil for roughly 2 hours, shut the fire off and leave covered but checking occasionally to see if all peanuts have sunk to the bottom of the pot. Drain ‘em and eat em.

[@johnbrzenksforearm8295]

The best way to eat them is to leave them in the brine. Put the whole shell in your mouth, crack it slightly with your teeth and then slurp the brine out of the shell. Pull the shell back out open it up and then eat the nuts. If brine isn't rolling off of your elbows you aren't eat 'em right.

Hey Travis, As far as cooking my peanuts I use a 23qt Presto cooker. As soon as your water comes to a boil, and your little chimney pops up put on your pressure regulator. Let the pressure build up to 10-15lbs and cut off your gas. also I salt my peanuts before boiling, this is much faster and will save you a tone of gas. Let them sit for about 2hrs.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Yeah that's definitely the cheaper way to do it. But sometimes I just like to stand outside and hear that fire burning underneath that pot!

Hey LDF, something to think about, if you use wood chips in the raised bed garden when they break down it makes the perfect medium for weeds. Ask me how I know. I think it would be much better if you cut up one of your tarps and lay them under the edges of the beds.

[@LazyDogFarm]

We have a pretty low weed seed bank in this plot due to our cover cropping and tarping over the years. Sure, there might be a few weeds here and there. But I think the weed pressure should be quite minimal.

[@LowCountryGardner]

Enjoyed the video Travis. You didn’t try mention when to dig up my peanuts? Mine are green and lush. Yours seemed to have turned yellow a bit. Is that what I am looking for. Thanks for your help.
