What kind of peanuts are used for boiled peanuts?

Answer 1

Buy newly harvested raw penuts at your state or local farmers market. Now boil them just like boiling dried peas until the nut in the shell absorbes water and becomes very soft. Time how long it takes. Salt is normally added to the cooking water for flavor. Too much is worse than too little. Look for a happy medium.

Answer 2

First get your self some fresh raw peanuts. The greener the peanut the better. If you can not find green peanuts regular raw peanuts will work you will just need to soak them for a good 24 hours.

Next you will want to wash the peanuts really good with tap water. Removing any stems or loose shells. You will need to get yourself a large pot. About 5 gallons. Generally people use a outside propane fryer. Add your nuts to your pot. Once you got your nuts in the pot you will need to add water. Generally I like to leave about 2-3 inches of water above the nuts. Add salt to the water. This is 100% a taste preference. No real set amount. You can also add any other flavors you like at this point as well. Bring it to a boil and keep stirring very 15 minutes.

After an hour and a half test your nuts and see if they are good. If not let em go another 30 minutes or so and test again until you satisfied.

Answer 3

Rinse your peanuts in cold water, then discard. Place peanuts in crock pot, about 2 pounds still in the shell. 15 cups warm water, 3/4 to 1 cup of salt, and 1 tbsp of vegetable oil. Cook on high for 20 hours. Check about half way through cook time and see if you need to add water.

Answer 4

Peanuts that you buy at Wal-Mart the only kind of peanuts they sell.

Answer 5

Place Green unshelled peanuts in extremely salty water and boil until the peanuts are tender.

Answer 6

Most people eat boiled peanuts on their own as many recipes create rich flavor that enables the peanuts to be eaten on their own. One can also serve it in salads or with rice and chicken.
