Back in April, my wife and I were on a tour bus in Charleston, SC, and the guide was talking about boiled peanuts and where to buy them locally. The guide said one time when he was giving this presentation, a man with a northern accent shouted, "I didn't realize peanuts had hair." The guide said he did not understand. The man replied "You keep talking about bald peanuts."

Lol. My Nephew's son says he likes bald shrimp the best!

It's full of organs and even lined with one. But it's got salt and slices so it's ok. Lol

This is how we store them. My wife has got the perfect recipe for canning them. They will keep for several years this way, though I wouldn't know for sure since they don't last that long here! A 27lb bag from Holland's will do 27qts. We just took a case to our cabin in Kentucky to have when we are there.

Any chance she would share her process/recipe?

A while back, I was curious and reading about the history of boiled peanuts.(my wife and I both love a good boiled peanut, I like em spicier than her though) we learned that they started around the time of the civil war. Sherman was killing everyone's livestock but there wasn't enough meat to go around anyway and the confederacy used peanuts to provide protein for the troops. They kept for a long time and kept the troops alive, and were abundant in the south. I'd think that eating them as a snack might be different from having to eat them to survive.
