The joy of eating unshelled peanuts

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.

    • Something similar to mine but we bought the roasted peanuts and had fun eating them together and robbing from each other’s bowls ?

  1. 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 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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!!!
