Oh they are the BOMB! I have been begging the Publix produce guys since the 1st of September. They got some in this weekend.. My folks always used the green ones in the shells. Get a big heavy pot...lots of water and more salt than you really think you need. Boil those goober's for a long time. Check the nut meat and see if they are nice and soft. Leave them in the water over night. Bag and fridge. They do freeze well too. Love them!!!!

Hmmm, Publix right around the corner from my house. Looks like I'll have to start pestering the produce manager until he gets them just to get rid of me. Thanks for the idea Kathryn!!
Publix is where I shop here in Madison, AL. They must just have gotten some in the warehouse. So get them while you can. The peanut season isnt that long. Hard to find the green ones. My house smells soooo good right now too.
Okay....pic is on the cell phone...gotta find the phone cord...and you can see them! I know the rule---no pic...didn't happen! lol
Loves me some boiled peanuts!!! a friend of mine I used to work with buys them by the bushel, boils and freezes them. He eats 2-3 bushels a year. he would eat them all day long everyday at work.
Kathryn, rinse them real good before boiling then soak them in some clean water after they boil, gets rid of any dirty taste they might have, one thing I hate about buying them at the roadside stands, they always taste dirty.

A little dirt never hurt no body! Just teasing! Don't like the stale muddy taste either. BTW....made 3 loves of pumpkin bread-- snapped 1/2 bushel of blue lake green beans--- made chili--- boiled peanuts yesterday. Today more boiled peanuts---- butttermik biscuits--- put up the greenbeans. Tomorrow will do more pumpkin bread and try my hand at apple butter.
The first trip I made with my (at the time) future wife down South to see her parents, we stopped at a roadside produce stand featuring the aforementioned delicacy. I'd seen them many times but never tried any, so I asked for a cup of them. The woman behind the counter handed them to me, and I just sorta stared at them. Apparently there was a confused expression on my face, so she not too politely asked me what the hell was the matter. I replied that I didn't know how to eat them. You'd have thought I was asking how to tie my shoes, or how to breathe. "Boy, what in the hell is the matter with you?" she bellowed. "Ya just eat 'em". She looked at my wife with pity and just shook her head. Then they both had a good laugh at my expense. My reason for the confusion was that I'd heard they are boiled for hours and hours, and I was wondering simply if the shell softened enough to be eaten along with the peanuts inside. No one ever bothered to explain it to me, and all these years later I'm STILL unclear on it. I ate my little cup of "boled p-nuts" (as the sign said) in the traditional manner, discarding the shells, and they were really good. I have since, however, heard of those who munch the entire thing, shell and all.
So I ask you southern Goober experts, WHAT IS THE RIGHT WAY TO EAT THESE THINGS?

I've never eaten the shell. Although, some folks have accused me of being part billy goat.
