Call them braised, steamed or boiled peanuts, this ancient snack is common wherever there are raw peanuts.

Many say that boiled groundnuts are an acquired taste. We disagree.

Most people either love or hate boiled, steamed or braised peanuts with their first taste. How can this simple food be so polarizing? We believe it's due to the expectations of the person eating boiled pea-nuts for the first time.

Boiled peanuts have a unique taste and texture, not hard like roasted peanuts, yet tasting like peanuts. This may confuse or delight the first time eater. Boiled pea-nuts taste similar to edamame, but more savory. Boiled earthnuts have a truly unique and wonderful taste.
