Who Doesn't Like Boiled Peanuts?! | Backyard Garden Planting

I was astounded to discover that there are people that have never tried boiled peanuts. I was even more astounded to discover that there are people who don't like boiled peanuts after trying them!
Today we'll be planting the best variety of peanuts for boiling -- Valencia peanuts. I'll tell you about my family history with boiled peanuts and why I just have to grow some!
We'll also be hilling and side-dressing our sweet corn -- better late than never right?! And we'll be thinning our Glass Gem corn so that the stalks are thick and healthy.

I live in Northern Canada. I'm 49 yrs old. I never heard of boiled peanuts until I drove to Florida in 2012. We stopped and bought some from an old guy on the side of the road. I can't believe I had been eating peanuts wrong my entire life. Not easy to get raw peanuts here, but when I do, I try to make up for 39 lost years.

[@riversideacres8853]

Never had boiled peanuts

[@harrybutler4077]

Boiled peanuts must be a Southern thing…. Love em!

[@kehlarr5525]

I'm a northerner who never had boiled peanuts until I moved South at the age of 30ish. I wasn't sure what to expect but I LOVED them. Now that I'm back to the north, I sure do miss them!

[@gloriaenciso2917]

I grew up eating boiled peanuts, but never lived in the south. Grew up in San Diego, where my Filipino mother and Aunts would boil a pot for most get togethers in the summer. Especially if we were celebrating outside. Lawn chairs, boiled peanuts and watermelon means summer is here.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Yes! All those things are synonymous with summer around here too!

[@advillwertz6585]

That's the reason people love Asian food so much. They know how to grow it how to cook it .

[@clinthutcheson2640]

I boiled some at a festival in Ohio once. An older gentleman got a bag and came back a few minutes later. He said he liked the taste but that they were to woody for him. I asked him to explain what he meant by woody. At that point he popped a peanut in his mouth and chewed it up, shell and all. I blew his mind when I showed him how to hull them 🤣🤣🤣

[@davesrvchannel4717]

If he ever got one with a worm in it, he’d open every one from then on

[@dpentola]

Count me in on the "I've never tried boiled peanuts" group. I would love to try them someday though.

[@cory3407]

Love boiled peanuts (as do my kids). Been buying and boiling Baldwin County peanuts for decades.

[@betwhatyougot]

Boiled Peanuts one of the great foods of the south

[@robertantolik2146]

I freaking love boiled peanuts! I'm a Yankee by birth but a southerner by choice. I've been living in the Florida panhandle a little over 20years. When I first moved here dry roasted peanuts and peanut butter had been my only experience with peanuts. Boiled peanuts sounded disgusting to me. But I've been hooked since the first time I tried them. And have also since grown them. Most Yankees have never had them and have no idea what they're missing out on. It's a bit of a southern secret to the rest of the country

[@stefmcclure9386]

Me too lol. Tried my first boiled peanut in SC when I visited at the age of 16. Fell in love with the State and the boiled peanuts and finally moved here 30 yes ago. Southerner by choice and loving it!

[@sandyacrefarms4356]

I love boiled peanuts, but never heard of them until I married my husband and moved back to Florida with him. I am originally from Michigan and never even heard of them until I met my husband, now the whole fam loves them!

[@johnoshiro8885]

Boiled peanuts are a Hawaiian delicacy and love them! They originated from the Chinese immigrants that came to work the sugar cane and pineapple fields. In Hawaii, they are boil in their shell with sea salt and a anise seed or two, which gives them a floral licorice flavor.

[@ericmercia1777]

I'm originally from upstate NY. Never heard of boiled peanuts growing up. Visited Savannah for vacation a few years back before I moved here and that was the first time I tried them. It was at Davis Produce out on Wilmington Island. I'll never forget the lady told me when I tried them that they're more like a salty bean or legume that a traditional roasted peanut. I loved them but I'll never forget that description.

[@davesrvchannel4717]

To anyone that cannot find boiled peanuts, they have texture similar to chic peas. Some people I’ve known to freak out over the texture because they’re used to peanuts being crunchy. I prefer boiled. Canned boiled peanuts sold at Walmart are too salty, gotta buy roadside and have with orange crush.

[@LazyDogFarm]

Yes!

[@jaredmccutcheon5496]

Lol, I’ve never tried boiled peanuts, never even seen them anywhere, but I feel like I’m gonna make it a point to find some and try them, 😂 Pretty sure that’s just a southern thing. Out here in California we have people sitting on the side of the road selling mostly strawberries and oranges, (and really good tacos), lol

[@tommathews3964]

Your life will change for the better!

[@candacealdridge877]

Valencia is definitely my favorite also!! Anybody that I know that don’t like boiled peanuts I mark them as sketchy, lol. I hope you get a great harvest!

[@carolavant3778]

Oh, my! Yes!! Definitely love boiled peanuts! I make them, but my almost 35 yo son won't eat them. Won't even try them! Sometime I really worry about that boy! 'Bet money that he'd like them if he tried them though.

[@MrSnapper1d]

Boiled peanuts isnt much of a thing here in south Arkansas and never had them until I was 50 years old and that was 22 years ago in Houston.That was the first time I ever saw them and they were good.Everyone here wants parched peanuts.A peanut is a peanut and I eat them boiled,parched and raw!!!!I love my peanuts!!! My mother used to tell us about being on the farm back in the 30's when she was growing up.They had parched peanuts and popcorn every night after supper.

[@advillwertz6585]

Ha! Travis, you are the man. I had a guy look at me cross eyed who was from northern Indiana when I told him I had some boiled peanuts earlier. He said " How's that go? B...o...i..l..e..d...Peanuts? I said " Yeah, boiled Peanuts." He said " B..o..i..l..e..d Peanuts...? " Hum...?"

[@rickthelian2215]

Travis, Chicken food for the Corn your thinning.... Go nuts😀😀😀 Bolted lettuce, the chickens will love them.

[@jjgayle8013]

Boiled peanuts - YUM!!

[@jamesdooley1624]

My dad owned a county store boiled 4 to 5 bushel every week and sold them in a 1 pound paper sack. Love me some boiled peanuts 🥜

[@jasonflores3140]

I moved to South Carolina in 1997, before that I'd never heard of boiled peanuts. Once I tried them, my world changed forever! I like them even better than roasted, can't do football games without them!

[@sandragarner3913]

I was born and raised in Florida and we love boiled peanuts. I can understand other parts of the country not knowing anything about them. I know a very nice lady from Chicago and she doesn’t like most of our southern foods

[@sandragarner3913]

But that’s ok there are a few New England items I’m not too crazy about. More peanuts for me. At my granddaughters wedding which was held in August in the middle of Georgia, outside. They had boiled peanuts to hold people over for the rest of the food. As far as I was concerned the nuts where the best food and the shells just went on the ground.

[@Ms.Byrd68]

Originally from The _South_ Bronx with PEEPS in South 'CLICK' and 'Boiled Peanuts' were a _traveler's staple!_ LOVE them!!!!

[@jefferybarron929]

Yes!!! Love boiled peanuts... Love em pulled straight out of the ground an eat em green too 😋

[@everettmcdonald2088]

When I was growing up in New England, I never heard of boiled peanuts. When I came to South Carolina in 1979 we tried em and love them!

[@everettmcdonald2088]

And I would still like you to try popping a little glass gem corn and tell us how it comes out.

[@seedlingsanctuary4979]

You should have more views and comments. The corn 🌽 are awesome. My Dad'o "hilled" his corn. He planted corn, beans, and different squash at that point. Keep Growing. ... #lazydogfarm

[@josiesmith1506]

I never heard of boiled peanuts until watching your channel… I hope you show all us new comers to the peanut world how you boil these after harvest.

[@BamaRollOn]

Alabama girl here…. I feel so sad for anyone not enjoying some Cajun seasoned boiled peanuts!

[@cynthiaedwards5149]

Now now. On the boiled peanuts can we come to a compromise. I love okra, only one in my house who does. But I'm just not fond of the boiled peanut. Yes I've tried them, texture thing I guess. But my husband likes them so maybe I get some household credit. I haven't missed any of the videos, just haven't been able to comment in a little while. My gardening and planting have almost come to a complete halt due to medical complications. I'm fighting my way back though it's just taking me longer than I anticipated on getting things done. I would like to know how Brooklyn 🤔 processes/uses her turmeric. Finally got around to getting a few baby chick's. I've lost 2 so far, but it's OK. They are in chick heaven now. I would have to go back and rewatch the videos to remember what questions I had. I got my LSU gold fig tree planted in ground finally though! Yay! Loving the channel. Missing Brooklyn and the boys! Stay away from the waterside. OH and what was this I remembered you saying about maybe not planting as many tomatoes 🤔. We are in the south we can't help planting too many tomatoes! Go Eddie!! I mean uh go Travis!!!!

[@LazyDogFarm]

Thanks Cynthia! Good to hear from you again!

[@peterhoger4458]

Yes love peanuts can’t get enough boiled peanuts are especially good for most any occasion oh I’m in Queensland Australia and live about an hour and half from Kingaroy which is a small town filled with PEANUTS

[@brittaneepruitt3707]

Love boiled peanuts. I'm from New Orleans and I think it's a Southern thing. Lol

[@rp6264]

Never have I seen or heard of boiled peanuts in California. I love roasted peanuts so I probably would like them if I tried them.

[@kathyhutto4210]

Love, love, love boiled peanuts.

[@bettyp.8177]

Love me some boiled peanuts! I even converted my Yankee husband. Now we arm wrestle for the peanuts.

[@junefish1957]

I love boiled peanuts! Never knew they existed, growing up in NJ. Here in SC they are considered a staple food.

[@cindysands3747]

I'm a lifelong Norther, I love boiled peanuts. I can't get enough of them. The first time I tried them a friend from South Carolina made them while visiting. No one else would touch them so there were plenty for me!

[@ljwfarming]

I'm living in SW Ohio. Although my parents were from Kentucky, we never ate boiled peanuts. I can't remember the first time I tried them, but it must have been almost 50 years ago. Some of the local gas stations started selling them. I tried them and never looked back! I have developed my own recipe and cook them in a crock pot. I make more than I can eat, so I freeze them in small bags. This is the first time I have visited your site, and I enjoyed it very much. I learned a lot listening to you. What really stood out was that you truly enjoyed what you were doing. You create an aura that make your readers feel as though we're all kindred spirits. Thank you!

[@LazyDogFarm]

Thanks Larry! We're glad to have you joining us here!

[@bluereader9015]

LOVE boiled peanuts. Especially in the fall.

[@lawrencekeech2779]

Boiled peanuts YES! I have driven hours to find good ones. A local farm market now has them and they keep two 10 gallon pots going and still can’t keep up with demand.

[@urbanbackyardcontainergardenin]

Hey Travis, boiled peanuts is a Southern thing. I’ve lived in the great northwest and the middle part of the country in Oklahoma. Folks eat popcorn and the like at football games, not boiled peanuts. Personally, I love me some boiled peanuts - Cajun flavored!

[@osmadchlo]

Yes, I LOVE boiled peanuts!

[@kimberlierauton9094]

Love boiled peanuts. SC so it’s a must so we are friends.❤️🌻🥜🥜🥜

[@tjduprey]

Salty roasted oily Spanish peanuts. But I getcha. My dad loved boiled peanuts.

[@LoveTractorFarm]

I ain't never heard of someone that ain't never heard of boiled peanuts! I mean how else would you eat'em, I guess here in Mississippi we just take those simple pleasures for granted. Side dressed my corn this past weekend, ran the drip for a couple hours then got almost an inch of rain later that night.

[@79PoisonBreaker]

I've never had boiled peanuts that I know of, I believe the peanuts I eat are roasted n seasoned. I would happily try some boiled if offered .

[@twhdvm]

Boiled peanuts are an essential food group for a life lived well. Go Dawgs.

[@LazyDogFarm]

GO DAWGS!

I was born in the Carolinas live in Georgia . I have eating boiled peanuts as long as I can remember.😛 taste so good.

From peanut country in the Wiregrass of Alabama, near Dothan where we have the National Peanut Festival. Love boiled peanuts!

[@obtainingmercycroft]

I grew up in Central Florida, digging peanuts out of a friend's yard, as well as stopping by roadside stands. I love boiled peanuts!!!

[@retiredviking2419]

I can't even imagine anyone not loving boiled peanuts; I call them "Georgia caviar". I don't know what variety Hardy Farms in middle Ga sells but they're by far the best. Last year I bought a 50lb sack and the wife cooked them in the pressure cooker (45 min!).

[@LazyDogFarm]

Those are good!

[@littlefootranch4410]

I'm originally from Ohio. I now live in Texas, have lived in 3 other states and I've always known what boiled peanuts are and never met another soul who didn't know & didn't love them. Lol But definitely not just a southern thing

[@parsonroy]

[@wendyharman3993]

I am from PA. Never knew about boiled peanuts until my 50’s. I loved them. I was so happy my kids thought they looked disgusting. More for me!!

[@WILLITGROW]

this is the first time i ever heard of people boiling peanuts interesting.

[@debrawade6656]

I was raised in Florida by northern parents so I never heard or tasted boiled peanuts until I was 19 and I have loved them ever since. My kids have them just about as much as popcorn. We love growing, boiling and freezing them for another day of snacking.

[@deborahstrickland9845]

I love boiled peanuts! My dad would pull bunches of peanuts on my grandparent’s farm and boil them when I was a child. Yum.❤️

[@bowhunter1172]

Boiled peanuts 🤘, Love them , must be a southern thing for sure , a must try if you havent.

[@farmsteaddreaming8471]

I was raised in deep south MS and my granny grew her own peanuts every year to boil, and I helped as much as a child could from as far back as I can remember. I remember the first batch of the season was pretty much dinner that night because the whole family would come over and granny would pour them out on to the table and we'd eat until we got a belly ache. It was more than a snack, it was a family tradition and some of my fondest memories. As an adult I introduced my husband to boiled peanuts on our first drive down for him to meet my family. Sadly, granny was gone by that time so it was just a can from a roadside, but I got him hooked. Hopefully, I'll be able to grow enough this year to boil myself and start the tradition over in my family up here in Memphis. Strangely, I haven't ever seen them up here.

[@kipper122670]

I have never tried boiled peanuts. Please still be my friend. Lol

[@CliffWarren]

Hey Travis, I love the channel! I appreciate the explanations that you give to things. So, about boiled peanuts. I'm a lifelong northerner, but my mother is from Mississippi. Whenever I visit the south I LOVE boiled peanuts! I have to admit, I never had heard of them until about 15. years ago. They are unheard of up here. My daughter and her husband now live in Athens Ga, and for a gift they sent me a "boiled peanuts kit" which had the raw peanuts, the seasoning pack, and instructions. I made them up for the family reunion. Well, I ate about a third of them, and nobody else would touch them. Eh, a few tried one, mumbled something and walked away. Northerners.... can't trust 'em. I'm also growing a Big Zac for the contest. Get ready!

[@LazyDogFarm]

That's a shame that they wouldn't eat the peanuts you cooked. More for you though!

[@johnbrzenksforearm8295]

I was raised on them. Around here the farmers use to use peanuts as a nitrogen fixer or a bumper crop between corn, cotton or tobacco harvests so we could ride down the road and find farmers boiling peanuts in stainless 55 gallon drums in their homemade brine. The canned ones are no where near as good as fresh ones from the fields down-the-road from your house. I've never grown them but may try it because most farmers have stopped growing them around here unfortunately.

[@frankdix2230]

I had tried them many years ago.Sorry just did not like them but love dry roasted peanuts.Hope we can stay friends.Watch all your videos.Frank.

[@justincrandall7294]

I moved to GA from MI 22 years ago and boiled peanuts got me hooked. I never went back.

[@boilednuts]

As you can tell by my name...boiled peanuts are GREAT!!! I prefer the asian style with rock salt and a head or two of anise seeds. Just slightly crack the narrow end of the raw peanut, bring to hard boil, let simmer while still covered for 1 hr and 15 minutes, get your favorite beer and enjoy.

[@summrrain7]

I love boiled peanuts 🥜😋☺️

[@ceciliamcbride8717]

Yes, I love boil peanuts grow up on them from my grandmother

[@melisaarmstrong2293]

Didn’t think I would like boiled peanuts 🥜 but I tried them and love them. I’m in Georgia so maybe it is a Southern thing. Lol 😂

Yes! Love boiled peanuts. Some of my favorite childhood memories are driving around the N. Georgia mountains in the fall looking at leaves and snacking on boiled peanuts!

[@cindyelmore7784]

We love boiled peanuts!! Here in Texas

[@donnalovintexas8760]

I have never had boiled peanuts. We always had roasted peanuts. In Shreveport Louisiana years ago there was a bait shop called Bacons (still around, relocated and smaller). Bacons always had roasted peanuts customers would eat and through the hulls on the floor. As kids its was the one time we did not get in trouble for dropping food on the floor 🤣.

Bless his heart! lol

[@charlescourtney4412]

Grew up in SC and was raised on boiled peanuts. My Momma was very picky about the variety of peanut, how much salt to use, and how long to soak them and man were they ever good. The early 80s found me on the faculty of The Ohio State University where nobody seemed to have ever heard of boiled peanuts. Late one summer my aunt came for a visit with a large bag of green peanuts in tow. I boiled up a big batch and took them to work. The native Ohioans either weren't interested in eating any or simply looked at them and said, "eoow!" However one of my colleagues was a Tuskegee graduate who was ecstatic at the sight of them. Half an hour later there was this black guy and this white guy sitting on the steps of our building gobbling down the peanuts with peanut juice dribbling down our chins and beatific expressions on our faces.

[@Farmd427]

Love boiled peanuts, I cook them with a couple of super hot Carolina Reapers Peppers in the pot, Love them. I am grow the Virginia Jumbo Peanuts now.

[@thifasmom]

Hi, I hail from the Caribbean and can honestly say I have never heard of boiled peanuts. We eat them roasted, and at sports games they are sold hot straight from a mobile cart that has a small oven. You eat them plain, salted or honey roasted. Maybe you can do a video showing how to make your boiled peanuts, I mean, showing duration and whether salt is added, etc.

[@deborahstrickland9845]

From my experience, salt is definitely added.😉
