During those days when we sat in our portico enjoying roasted unshelled peanuts brings back memories.
We were quite a brood eight in all and mother used to buy roasted peanuts and give all of us some. We would all sit out there and enjoy them chatting and having fun.
Then there was this most exciting activity which involved selling our books after we got our results and with that money we would buy peanuts and other ingredients to prepare what we call here chikki. The joy to see its success was just another happy memory.
That time we only knew the fun part of it. It is only now thanks to the Internet that I have learnt of the health properties of peanuts.

No time for unshelled peanuts but I have them in different forms. We get the unsalted peeled peanuts and the crunchy peanut butter. Very rarely do I boil the unshelled peanuts – they taste great too.

I love all kinds of nuts. Right now I’m reading posts on Virily and eating peanuts ?
That is interesting. Enjoy your peanuts. ?
I love nuts of any kind. When I was a child Mum used to roast peanuts in the oven with shells on. We used to peel them ourselves and blow on them in the wind.
Something similar to mine but we bought the roasted peanuts and had fun eating them together and robbing from each other’s bowls ?
I don’t think I have ever had unshelled ones, but I love peanuts in any form.
Are they not available where you live?
My mistake, I meant I haven’t had shelled ones. I always get them unshelled. I prefer roasted unsalted peanuts, this way I can use them in dessert recipes too.
My wife would buy a kilo of raw peanuts in the Sunday market and she would boil it for 5 minutes. She doesn’t want an overboiled peanuts.
I prefer well boiled peanuts. May be healthwise they are better par boiled
I also like boiled peanuts better than any of these listed. Peanut butter is a favorite. I feed the roasted ones to the birds doing the winter and they love them.
I learnt about peanut butter after reading about it at writing sites.
I eat peanuts of all kinds, dear friend … but I prefer salty ones because they are already peeled
I like to buy it in the shell because it is not salted.
I bought shelled unsalted peanuts recently. I roasted them a bit as I noticed they had a raw taste But I am happy with my purchase.
Peanuts are good and good for you. They have protein among other things.
We have always eaten them but in those days we ate them because we liked them and never knew they were good for us
I love making peanut butter for my boys. Each time to go to see them I take a jar of peanut butter for them. I add crushed peanuts into all my chicken dishes too.
Adding crushed peanuts into your chicken dishes is a good idea.
My boys could do with the extra protein, I guess.
George Washington Carver, the person that invented peanut butter, was a huge peanut advocate. He came up with all sorts of products based on peanuts.
I love them as a snack!!!
As kids we have eaten them not knowing how healthy they really are
They add a wonderful flavor cooked or raw to just about everything!
