Now theres an open ended question. We like to say that everyones mileage may vary. I have 5 kids who all eat boiled peanuts like theyre going out of style. One bag is enough to satisfy them. Most folks ask us how to store the peanuts that they cannot finish. That leads to our next question. How can I store my peanuts once cooked?

These are not green peanuts. The term “green” peanut refers to a peanut that is freshly dug from the ground. We do not ship green peanuts because, like any other fresh produce, they must be refrigerated and have a very volatile shelf life. Green peanuts are only available a couple of months out of the year, during peanut harvest. We sell raw, dried peanuts. These are the same peanuts that can be found year round at any roadside stand in the South. Do the shells get soft/mushy?

The bag is actually integral to the proper cooking of the peanuts. As the peanuts on the bottom of the bag start to rehydrate, the weight of the hydrated peanuts actually pulls down the peanuts at the top of the bag. This ensures that all peanuts cook evenly and fully hydrate. The bag also helps to concentrate the brine so that every peanut provides the same great flavor. Can I add water while the peanuts are cooking?
