Raw peanuts are sold as bird feed so there you go. Even in Ohio.

I have a good ol’ Florida panhandle man who loves his boiled peanuts. And his whole family. Every time we go back to his old home place, he gets excited as soon as he starts seeing the boiled peanut stands. I’m afraid this Arkansas gal just can’t get used to them!! But, he will love this article so I’m going to send it to him!!! I’m glad I found this older post!

I realize this is an older post, but I had to comment. I remember my dad (a self-proclaimed hillbilly from Alabama) making these on weekends when I was a child. Peanuts boiling have a very distinctive odor that has been etched into my memory for years! He passed away in 2009, and I was sorry that I had never asked him how to make boiled peanuts. Now I can pass this along to my children. Thank you so much

Thank you thank you thank you for this recipe! I was born in Georgia but have never actually had boiled peanuts but my dear hubby LOVES them so I’m making him some for Christmas. Not enough money to buy gifts for the two of us this year – spending it all on the kids – so this will be PERFECT!! Thank you Christy!

DANG!!! I moved from N. Ga in June and have been craving boiled peanuts for months now! We used to get them right down the road from our house at Jaemor farm in Lula, Ga.
People from Illinois just don’t see the true beauty that is the boiled peanut. So, apparently I am going to have to turn them onto them like I had to do with sweet tea!!! LOL
I love reading your posts, it takes me back to the south. Keep up the good work!!!

I am a Georgia girl through and through, but am I the ONLY person who doesn’t like boiled peanuts? I prefer to have my peanuts “parched” as we say ……

Hey, Christy. An old-timer in the grocery store once told me you can make these in the crock pot!!! It works.

OMG… I was born in No Fla and grew up on boiled peanuts, but they don’t even know what they are down here in South FL..(Yankeeville I call it)… I was just up in the Orlando area a couple of weeks ago, and bought a whole bunch of ummmm-good hot boiled peanuts from a roadside stand driving back to Orlando from Mt. Dora… I was thinking of making some… Thanx for reminding me
