Best Boiled Peanut Recipe

- This boiled peanut recipe is a southern tradition and a delicious mess. You can readily find boiled peanuts sold along roadsides throughout the Southern USA. Boiled peanuts are a messy treat--and a little bit of work to eat--they're kinda like eating pistachios in a soggy shell (not taste-wise, just work-wise). I love 'em--I don't make them, 'cause I'm too lazy--but I'm always happy to eat them when CG boils up a batch, especially if she's digging them out of the shells.

Boiled Peanut Ingredients:
3 lbs RAW "green" PEANUTS
½ cup SALT
optional:
BAY LEAVES
CHILI POWDER
GARLIC fresh or dried
HOT PEPPERS fresh or dried
HOT SAUCE
flavored BOULLION (broth)
...pretty much any seasoning that you like!
Boiled Peanut Directions:
Ideally you want to use raw "green" peanuts. Green peanuts are not green, that just means they're minimally processed--pretty much just out of the ground. Use green peanuts quickly, because they will not keep long and are prone to mold. Green peanuts are ideal because they will more quickly and most readily absorb the seasonings during the booil. You can use peanuts that have been dried in the shell, but don't use roasted peanuts.
Wash and rinse the peanuts thoroughly, and then place them in a large pot and cover with plenty of water.
Place on the stovetop, cover and bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and allow the peanuts to cook for 2 hours. Add more water to the pot as needed. The peanuts should always be covered in plenty of water. At first the peanuts will float, but after time, the peanuts will sink.
After 2 hours, add seasonings (it's in the latter part of the boil that the peanuts absorb the most flavor). Add salt, which is the primary ingredient--in fact salt is all you need; many folks JUST USE SALT--they're plenty tasty that way, but we prefer to add other seasonings as well, which is generally called "cajun boiled peanuts". For this batch we added several cloves of raw garlic, dried chili peppers, and ½ cup chili powder. But you can add whatever seasonings you like.
Cover, and allow the peanuts to continue bubbling on medium heat for 30 more minutes.
After thirty minutes, remove the peanuts from the heat and allow to sit in the seasoned water until they reach the desired flavor, about 2-5 hours. The longer they sit cooling in the pot, the more seasoned they will become. Give them a try every half hour until you're happy with the flavor.
They are a mess to eat, but delicious and addictive. Once you start eating them, it's hard to stop--they will go quickly! If you have leftovers, just drain them and store them in the fridge in ziplock bags. You can also freeze them in ziplocks for longer storage.

One of my few memories of my early childhood is the peanuts we bought on the side of the road. My mouth is watering just thinking about them. I’m going to have to make them!
did you make them how did they come out ?
Born and raised in SC, I love boiled peanuts but just with salt added. I make my own for my family, who love them as well. If you’ve never tried them, you don’t know what you’re missing.
Boiled peanuts are my favorite thing!!! But I eat them different! Lol I like to suck on the shells then when all the juice and flavor is gone I crack it with my teeth and suck the peanuts out of the shell then throw the shell away! Lol they're my favorite road trip snack. That and sunflower seeds lol
FaithKennedyy oh I do that too
You have Instagram?
FaithKennedyy Haha! That's how I eat them. Too funny!
That is the only way to eat boiled peanuts.
Yep that's the way to eat 'em
Wow.. Brings back memories of my grandmother pulling up the peanuts from her garden, washing them and putting them on to boil and it seemed like FOREVER lol but when they were done oh boy what a treat!! If you think boiling them takes too long try roasting them from the raw stage; takes even longer but oh so, so good either way!!
My first time having boiled peanuts was in California in an Asian market. I fell in love with it and it was just plain. I’ve never thought about seasoning them before. Ima give it a go tonight. Can’t wait to see how it comes out.
down in the Southeastern U.S., especially in Georgia, it's easy to find roadside stalls along the highway where folks sell boiled peanuts...that's one of the things I miss most about the south
I crack mine open while it's in my mouth to get all the juice she cracking it in her hand whatt
Thanks for the recipe, I love boiled peanuts and the simply salted peanuts are not messy! 🙂 I will use raw dried peanuts since I have not found fresh peanuts in New Orleans. Hope it works.... Came out amazing!!!!!
Caviar of the South😉
I'm from the midwest and have relatives in Fla. I love them. I try to get them every time we're down there. I have an Instant pot and I'm going to make some in that.
Ty during This quarantine this is what I’m doing I’m Grandfather will be proud of me happ father Day to everyone
OMG, How delicious! I purchased 3 pounds at my local Farmers Market and made this recipe, they are outstanding. The last time I made Peanuts, I just made them with the Salt. The Chilli and the Garlic recipe added a kinda Georgia/Mex taste that I love. Next time, I will add the peppers, but right now I am feening to fill up on these Goobers. Thank you for the great recipe I am so glad I found your channel..
My great grandfather use to send these from Quincy, FL to us in Omaha, NE. I live in LA now, but man, these were on my mind today, I would happily make these, this looks like a great recipe. Thanks!
If you go to Louisiana, or anywhere else in the south and dont eat these, you are missing out
I love them too! I've never cooked them myself, I think I'll give it a try.
I LOVE Boiled peanuts. For whatever reason I hated them the first time I had them back in 2002 but since then it has become my favorite treat! We did not get this in Louisiana & Texas up until recently
I can't wait until August. That's when our local farm has their roadside stand up until late October with their boiled peanuts. They are so good! But they also had some green peanuts in our local Kroger so I'm boiling some as we speak. I do like to add a little sugar to them but not too much.
I gave this to my niece and nephew, and they were in love with it.
I was born south Florida an to the left a right of me was swamps I grew up eating these things my whole life. I love them so much.
Thanks for recipe, delicious meal.
You commentated this video perfectly. I am going to boil peanuts this evening and let them sit all night. Again, i absolutely loved your narration. Thank you.
thanks...CG is a boiled peanut connoisseur
mmmmmm I fell in love with boiled peanuts years ago, whenever I'm on the road I try them all and today I found raw peanuts at krogers, I made sure they were raw and whoop they are now on the 2 hour boil. Yummmmmmmmmmm
I never used to get the boiled peanut thing, but my wife has most definitely brought me to the light
If you can't eat boiled peanuts while driving without get anything on you. your not a southern boy or girl.
and you dont make a video about it ?
You can make any videos you want about what ever you want. I just meant when you a true southern you can eat boiled peanuts with out getting them on you. Because you can eat em with one hand. If you were asking what I meant about it.
+Jeremy Weatherspoon.
I know EXACTLY what ya mean. Window rolled down,One hand on the wheel and the other in the Cup.
Jeremy,
Please do not do that while you are driving. You have too many peoples who love you.
Jeremy Weatherspoon hell yes im from bama and i eat that shit all the time its my favorite snack
I discovered I had to cook mine for about 5 hours but wat a great video!! I normally do mine in the crackpot 💜💜💜
Ran across your video today. I am cooking 15 pounds of peanuts for Christmas gifts. My family is originally from South Georgia. We live in Washington state now.
Really dug the artistic vibe of this video... Dig the tunes
I'll have to try authentic southern boiled peanuts.. I'll be in Virginia end of next month.ill look for them there
Cecil Stone, the best I’ve had are the Al, Ga, fl panhandle. Roadside, curb markets, beer places.
This music is coincidentally the same music from the mobile game "prison empire"
Thank you for posting this! I just learned about boiled peanuts but none of the recipes explained how to eat them (shell on? shell off?) or the texture as well as you two just did.
+sitearm glad the vid was helpful...thanks for checking it out
My roommate just made some the other day, and not being from the "South" I've never had them before. They were really good. :D
I'm addicted
i love this.good job man
Oh I love peanuts but never knew about boiling them...this I have to try!! For some reason they are easily available here in the supermarkets around Halloween but I don't see them the rest of the year, will have to keep looking as I'm dying to try this now. Thanks for the inspiration :-)
They are ready in Sept - Oct here in eastern NC. Just bought a bushel today right from the farmer.
Nice Recipe..thanks for sharing
Thank you we eat salted boiled peanuts in Nigeria very yummy.
You CG. Love them like a delicacy. Just salt for me. Can't get enough. Thanks for sharing and God bless.
Debbie Holland I meant you go CG. Sorry. not good at typing.
low country caviar, is what we call em...
Haha! Love the narration! Good vid.
Thank you for sharing.
Ahh, I miss home after watching this. Been in Europe for 16 years. It's difficult to find green peanuts in the shell here. Buck, do you know if ya'll used Virginia type? I know ones used for boiling are usually more resistant to mold. For those who think this is a strange way to treat a nut...peanuts aren't nuts, they're legumes, like chickpeas. thx Buck and CG :)
Making some today for Labor Day weekend 😋
Picking them out of the shell is part of the fun for me. Just like oysters, crawdads or pistachios. Although there is an art to eating boiled peanuts while driving without making a mess. I just put the shell and all in my mouth and shuck the peanut with my tongue and teeth. haha
ha!--yeah--I think eating boiled peanuts while driving is a two-man job
Eat in car on road trips all the time. I am an original SC girl. Couldn’t find the green peanuts, but finally found a market who does. So happy.
Great way of eating peanuts, need to try, just wondering if it could be done in the pressure cooker?
Omg Boiled Peanuts are my favorite..... Love them
Last time I boiled peanuts, I used a Turkey brine sold at Costco, that was the tastiest batch I’ve ever made!
Traveled north and by accident saw "Green Peanuts" at Seiler Farms, (7711 N US Hwy 441, Ocala FL 34475). I got half a bushel of green peanuts for $20. I love boiled peanuts at Race Track gas stations but had no idea how to cook them! Thanks for spicy recipe!
I love them!
I'm from Canada and I tried Timbos boiled peanuts on Ashley River Road in Charleston SC and they were awesome.
Would you think it would be a good idea to use the water as a soup stock after?
I’m with Camera Girl! Boiled peanuts are the best! Well worth the effort. 🥜🥜🥜
How long should I set my Powercooker Xl for these boiled peanuts, and what setting should I use, beans, meat, etc. setting, please help, Im ready to boil them
Been looking for a good recipe for boiled peanuts. How do you know when the peanuts are done?
I'm southern born and bread and I love boiled peanuts when they are seasoned right. Sounds like she knows what she's doin and the juice in them......... Oh man, it'll make ya wanna slap somebody. I don't really talk country but I thought I'd throw in a little southern flair ya'll.
LOL
You are lame Kathy :)
I'd never heard of boiled peanuts until I went up to Houston through Victoria and saw them at a corner store. I was kind of confused and thought it was slang for some sort of soup, but then that didn't make any sense because why would they be selling soup at a corner store? Haha! I poked around at the crock pot they had them in and sure enough it was filled with soggy peanuts. I didn't try them, but now I kind of wish I had.
GummyTumor ha!--yeah it's probably not what you'd expect to find poking around a crock pot--and they can look decidedly unappetizing floating in the pot, I think, especially if you're not familiar with them.
Ohhh so much better then roasted
I've never tried them. But I'm going to!!
I first ate these driving to Florida bought them at a gas station outside of Atlanta they are a mess eating them while driving but man are they delicious
Sounds like a good recipe. I'll give it a try. Cooked my own a couple of times before and spice it up by ear. I do all my cookin' by ear. Can't pass on family recipes 'cause its all off the cuff, go with the feeling at the time. My kids hate that. They love my cookin' but hate that I can't pass on a recipe to them. I told them to look into their genes----it's all there.
I’m a new GA citizen, and I’m addicted already. Gonna make my own and can it
Wondering if cook in the pressure cooker will it take less time?
Never ate that way, looks delicious 🤤
Pressure cooker would reduce time for sure, like with beans.
I love boiled peanuts and I would love to make them . I live in Buffalo New York and we don’t have fresh peanuts . 🙁
Omg I just made me some peanut I love them so muchh
Not from this south, but still gonna try this
I'm from the south they had these in many gas stations growing up but can't seem to find a good recipe that matches the old homemade has station tastes from northern Georgia... preferably Cajun blends and have been looking for a similar recipe I tried the crab broil stuff but doesn't even compare would this recipe be more of the general common taste or just a good recipe for boiled peanuts just wondering
I love them.
Got introduced to boiled peanuts in Walterboro, SC (LowCountry)
When I lived in southern Louisiana, I used to love them, but like you, man they be messy. You could, I imagine ya still can, find them at most decent gas stations, along with Boudin. Man, I miss Boudin, too. I'll have to try and make some boiled peanuts at home.
I really like it
I can eat a whole pound of these things wile driving and not spill a drop. The salty juice is my favorite part. I got a pot going right now. Not a fan of the spiced ones thou lol thanks thou
Great Recipe. Wonderful
When I got back from Iraq the first thing I did was drive to the closest convenience store near Fort Benning and get me a BIG cup of boiled peanuts.
Thank you
Howard Johnson I do miss buying boiled peanuts along the roadside in Georgia and Florida--don't see that at all here in the Northwest.
I've bought bags of boiled peanuts from little boys outsidea gas stations in Georgia and Alabama. Those were the days.
Thanks
One of my favorite foods, and yes I can eat while driving. Practice makes perfect.
How long do boiled peanuts last in the fridge? We just bought some in the south on Sunday, it's now Tuesday, how much longer can I leave them in my fridge? Thank you :)
Boiled Peanuts is Da Bomb! Especially spiced up like that.
They sell this as street food in Ghana, I find the shelling addictive: it's part of what makes them taste so good!
chasingthesun90 my wife shares your enthusiasm for the shelling--and it reminds her of eating them as a kid
Nice
I actually like to buy either boiled or peanuts in the shell to eat while I'm driving long distance at night. It helps keep me busy to keep me awake.
Boiled peanuts?! I had no idea that was a thing! 8O
Love boiled peanuts. I'm eating them now. I've never made them myself, though :/
CG always loves to pull over and buy them at roadside stands in the Southest USA
Eat the whole shell, bro! Never had boiled penuts before, but shelled roasted peanuts are my favorite. Shell and all, baby
Thank you for the video… And for your critique. But I ask, what would be an equivalent “snack “ you would recommend? You said you “Don’t get it”. So, what do you get? I feel like I must be missing out!
I stop at a gas station on my way home for Cajun boiled peanuts most days. Eating and driving is something you learn.
It’s the commentary for me 🤣🤣 camera girl . I enjoyed this video lol
Just going straight to peeling them open like that you miss most of the best part, the juices. You place one end of the peanut in your mouth with the seem of the peanut in a vertical orientation. You bite just strong enough to open the seem of the peanut and suck out all the juices. Then you can open the peanut the rest of the way to get to the rest of the treat. This way you don't miss out on any of the flavor and they are much easier to eat without making a mess.
This guy is awesome
from the south and have been living in the north for the last 13 year and god damn did i miss having these, turned out great made mine a little more spicy than necessary with ghost pepper but i needed this in my life again 😁
His voice is really good! He should be a preacher.
How long will the green peanuts stay fresh in the bag they come with?
I don't know about ya'll, but I eat'em shells & all, just love boiled peanuts I guess! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
C Gray be careful eating the shells. Not good for the stomach.
Enjoy the peanuts, shell and all, and save that broth! It has so many uses!!
What would you use the broth for?? I never knew about boiled peanuts until this video so would love to know about the broth and can you really eat the shells??? :-)
The bag i bought says to soak them over night, is this necessary?
Where is the best place online to order green peanuts?
How do I keep my boiled peanuts from sticking to the shell. I boiled them for about three hours. Thanks
I am 34 years old. I have lived all of my 34 years in Virginia. One would think I would have had a few, nope, I used to think that was so nasty. Confused as to why someone would boil a peanut. One of my coworker made some and suggested I try them. I can not believe I used to turn my nose up at them. They are so good. I have buy some and I am going to try my hand at cooking them. Folks don't know what they are missing.
Nice snack. I am from india mostly we use pressure cooker to reduce the cooking time. Buy the pressure cooker if available and enjoy frequent snack.

Tell me your a yankee without telling me your a yankee lol
Driving and eating bold peanuts is a thing.. And getting them from the roadside stands is the best ever! but gas prices what they are in the current day, I'm glad I can make these at home.🤗
your right ones you start eating them you can't stop😂😂😂😂😂
Man I'm front muskoka Ontario Canada I never heard or would have ever thought of this
Like this southern states folks can really start conversing there this comment
Sincerally a 22 year old from muskoka Ontario drunk on appletons jamacian rum
I didn't even know this was a thing until five minutes ago when I saw someone scooping some out of a pot in another video.
OMG! i loved the eyebrows of the lady.. she is really lovely and so funny.. lol
please say hello to her for me :)
I boiled it with tumeric powder, salt and a bit of sugar and the taste is ao good
Once they cool or they have sit for a few hours do they stay mushy? I'm southern and have never had a boiled peanut but have always wondered what the heck the deal was with them.
kab4292 after they've cooked for just a couple of hours, they're already soft, and they stay soft, even out of the water; CG adds the seasoning after 2 hours and let's them cook another 30 minutes before removing them from the heat--the longer they sit, the more flavor they will absorb--it's a combination of how much seasoning and how long they stay in the pot that determines the flavor--they can get TOO salty if left too long with too much salt, so really it ends up being a matter of taste...it's good to taste test them every hour after cooking. CG is pretty conservative with the salt, but we generally let them stay in the pot quite a while.
Green peanuts are fresh from the ground raw peanuts are air dried and take a lot longer to cook. Will have to try your recipe though they look great!
You don't 'peel' them, just squeeze them into your mouth. Properly cooked the shells are very soft.
If you've had 'edamame' at a Japanese place that's served in the shell...it's exactly like that.
Food of the gods. Just food of the gods right there. Yes sir.
