We went to our local fruit/veggie farmer's market type stand yesterday and
got about 2 pounds of peanuts. We boiled them all day, yesterday, in some
salt and garlic and I'm comfortably and happily munching on them today.
Boiled peanuts are so good! I thought it was just a Hawaii thing, but when
I moved to Florida and saw boiled peanut stands all over the place, it was
so wonderful.

Ah, a taste of home in a displaced place.

Just thought I'd share.

How do you do that? In the shell or out? Roast afterward or not? My
grandfater used to grow peanuts. My granmother would boil them in salted
water in the shell, then roast them until dry in the oven. Delicious!

In the shell, of course! Boiled in heavily salted water. I was surprised
to find kili liked them (and no they aren't Hawaiian!). Was down in
Waltersboro SC when I first discovered them... want to add some diced
jalapeno peppers to the mix and you've got some hot peanuts! They sell them
in cans up here... kind of strange but there you have it.

Nope, it's a Southern thing (Hawaii is in the south, right?). Well,
at least North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and
Florida.

Next time, separate them into two pots of the water and let TFM® add
some cayenne pepper (to taste) to his batch. Other peppers or hot
sauces work as well, but be sure to keep yours separate from his. ;-)

My wife, from Hawaii, used to tell me about boiled peanuts so much, so
when we were in South Carolina we saw some and bought. Not bad, but
think the water they were cooked in was from the '30s. Very dirty and
gritty tasting so most went in the garbage.

They pop up in the strangest places. Here in the SFBA, they can be
found at Vietnamese restaurants.

I thought they came from Japan when I was a kid, but they are indeed
available locally. The peanuts which are really tasty, (guess we use
clean water and clean peanuts here in Hawaii), used to come in paper
bags. They were sold outside the roller derby arena. Best
part...You could eat the bag when you were done because it was tasty
too. hahaha

My husband makes boiled peanuts almost every week. You boil them up
with salt along the same lines of cooking soybeans. All legumes too
btw and they are good for you.

They are very common here in Alabama (as someone else mentioned) and I have
a friend from Brazil who says that they are also a big thing there.

Brazil is in the south!

I don't now how long Kili does it, but here's what we do. You buy dry
fresh peanuts in about a pound bag from the store. Then Bob soaks
them in water in a pot on the counter for a couple of hours with a
rock to hold down the buoyant peanuts. Then put in pot, on stove,
fill with water- not a huge pot, kind of like cooking soybeans, add
some salt to the water and boil gently for 45 minutes or so. You can
test for doneness but opening up a peanut and seeing if it is as
cooked as you like. I like my peanuts near mushy.

I am sure Kili has a great way too.

You can store the uneaten peanuts in the icebox and they stay great
for a few days.

Yummy.

No, in Japan it's roasted. I've been seeing fresh peanuts in local
farmer's market recently here in SF bay area.

Water in the pot, season the water, pour in the peanuts, in shell, boil for
however long it takes. Open shell eat.

That's the one thing I miss about Florida, the boiled peanuts.

Spent a few months of my life there and found out between the bugs, the
floods, and the other crap that it wasn't the place for me.

I agree. Boiled peanuts are the ONLY good thing about Florida. I spent a
great deal of time there on business and always hated going...until I
discovered boiled peanuts!

I'm hoarding three cans of them right now that I brought back on my last
trip. Unfortunately, I've changed jobs and probably won't be going back
anytime soon. Those three cans will have to last--until I get around to
ordering some on the Net.

Last time I was in Florida was in 2000. Was there for a week and haven't
thought about going back since.

Did you try Soulard Market, Michael? If anyplace down yer way would

LOL, BOB. He *does* make a spicy version, but when we boil them to sit back
and watch movies, he does the mild version - just for me. :~) (Trust me,
he'd rather do the spice.)

Okay, we don't soak ours first. We put them in boiling, salted water and
then turn the temp down to simmer. We cook them for maybe 8 hours that way.
The peanuts are still a little firm, they've got a bit of give to them, but
they're done. Tastes just like Hawaiian-kine. :~) I love them!

They are not "green" peanuts, they are called raw peanuts. We find
them in the fresh vegetable section of our local grocery store.

Hope that helps.

They call them "green" here in Florida, but, yeah, you're right, they're
just raw. :~)

They are *not* simply raw peanuts. Most of the raw peanuts
that we can buy have been thoroughly dried. I don't know if this is
because of age or processing, but I suspect that they've been helped
to dry.

But in most Oriental shops I can find raw peanuts that are still
somewhat wet. My Alabama born neighbor uses these, not the dry raw
peanuts, for boiled peanuts.

This is an academic issue for me, since I grew up in New York
where the street vendors had the most wonderful roasted peanuts, and
I've never caught on to the allure of boiled ones.

I don't know if we are into semantics but my main grocery store
certainly has much oriental stuff and is owned by the Taniguchis.

Our peanuts are indeed very dry and very clean. Maybe just a
different grade? (Coffee has different grades so I suspect most
produce does as well.)

The end product however is always yummy.

My oriental shops often have both the dry and the wet raw
peanuts, so I have to assume that they're considered
different products.

Check out one of the Oriental or Hispanic groceries. I've seen them in
both.

PS....there is also a place here in Alabama that ships. No web site that I
could (quickly) find but the name is the Peanut Depot in Birmingham.
They're cheap when you pick 'em up. I don't know how much it costs to ship.

Michael, when I lived in Belleville, I was able to buy the green peanuts at
Schnuck's. Try there. They should still carry them.

Hey Michael,
I just looked in my local Publix and found them there also. I don't know if
you have Publix there but if you do.........
