I was inspired to write about this topic, due to the fact that I know someone that eats peanut shells. I told him I thought it could be harmful to consume the shell of peanuts. I decided to search for this concern of mine. Please read here about eating peanut shells. Also, read this article about eating peanut shells
In these articles it talks about while it is ok to eat peanut shells, it does have health risks. it may be high in fiber, but it can cause digestion problems, that could one day lead to the need for surgery.
Have you ever ate the shell of a peanut. is it due to the crunch or the saltiness? If you do eat peanut shells I would do it in moderation, and maybe talk to your healthcare physician. Just the thought of eating peanut shells sounds dangerous. What are your thoughts about this topic?

I don’t believe I know of anyone who eats peanut shells. Of course, now I wonder how they would taste.
Don’t eat peanut shells, it can be harmful.
There are instances that we eat peanut shells when they are boiled. Their shells become soft and they are to dangerous to bite and swallow them.
Thank you for sharing this information.
You never like my idea or my experience. That is okay. You never give me a like. It is too frustrating to say good things and then it is not well responded. I know you are entitled for it. Never mind it. At least I know. Thanks for your time.
I never heard of this, I think even elephants remove the shell.
