We get peanuts in different forms. Unshelled raw, unshelled roasted, peeled but raw. peeled even with the red skin removed roasted and salted, some roasted unsalted. Then there are those that are candied.
What we do not get to buy are boiled peanuts. I buy unshelled raw peanuts and boil them at home with a bit of salt. I pressure cook them for quick results and of the lot I like these the best.

I enjoy peanuts in any form but boiled peanuts have their own taste.

@LadyDuck To each their own. But they are healthier than any other forms

@allknowing My husband tried boiled peanuts in the United States and he did not like a lot, he said that they taste like boiled beans.

That is one reason why one should eat boiled peanuts.

That's a good snack I love to have when I watch tv with my daughter. But I cannot eat as much as I want to since my gallbladder was removed.

I have heard about nuts having gall bladder issues. No matter what food there are always side effects

@allknowing Most foods, yes, there are side effects. Fruits and vegetables are the only foods that don't give me stomach issues.

I somehow would not feel comfortable getting boiled peanuts from vendors specially not knowing what water they use!

@rakski In a way you are right. You develop immunity. I remember a friend of mine used to give her kids tap water as her logic was they will develop immunity

I have never made peanut soup. Is that the main ingredient?

@allknowing As far as I can remember. Pretty sure there was a decent amount of veg stock in there, and it was pureed smooth. Quite tasty.

Nope. We buy them when someone sell it.

Once you started eating them you just cannot stop. Also they are the healthiest form.

I like peannuts in several forms but nothing like boiled peanuts. When I was on holiday in the US I picked up a packet of candied peanuts. They were nice too
