Royal Oak Virginia Raw Out Of The Shell Peanuts, 6 Pound Bags (Pack of 2)

These peanuts are beautiful. I have been buying raw peanuts from a local store, and decided to try these as the price was the same, and I was becoming dissatisfied with the local peanuts.These peanuts are definitely a better quality than the local ones. They are all whole peanuts, out of the shell, they are bigger and heavier than the local ones. The local peanuts always came broken up and they often didn't smell right, so I'm glad I tried the Royal Oak Gourmet Virginia Raw Out of the Shell Peanuts.There is a warning on the package that since they are an agricultural product, they should be cooked a bit to kill off any bacteria. They have been inspected by the USDA.You can roast them if you are worried about them being raw agricultural products.I looked up how to roast raw peanuts:Directions:Place raw peanuts, in shell or shelled, one layer deep in a shallow baking pan. Sprinkle salt over.Roast in a 350 degree F oven; 15 to 20 minutes for shelled and 20 to 25 minutes for in shell peanuts.Remove from heat just short of doneness desired, as peanuts continue to cook as they cool.Basic Oven Roasted Peanuts Recipe - Southern.Food.comsouthern.food.com/recipe/basic-oven-roasted-peanuts-238625

I am prepping a batch of these for boiled peanuts right now. These are raw, air-dried peanuts, so they have to soak in cold water for several hours (up to a day) like you would regular dried beans - but boy is it worth the wait! Every peanut so far has been huge, fresh, and so very yummy! They make a much lower-carb alternative for your standard navy or other regular dried beans. Mind you, they still have carbs, but a whole lot less than other, starchier beans. Since these are already shelled, it makes it much easier to make a big batch up of spicy (or just salty) boiled peanuts. You can also put them in the slow cooker with a ham hock and make them up like a regular pot of ham & beans - delicious! I got the two six-pound sacks deal and it is very much so worth it - they're so much better than what you can find in the store.

I roast them as is. Great color and taste. A bit pricey though

Ordered these peanuts a few times up to this point. The most recent order we poured into a container and when we opened it we saw pantry moths fly out from it. Now we're dealing with a potential pantry moth infestation. Order with caution.

I started making my own peanut butter, using small containers of nuts from the grocery store was just inefficient and wasteful. I ordered these raw peanuts and was impressed. The price was right, the quality was good. I roast them by mixing a tablespoon of oil in with a few cups of nuts. I spread them out in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Pop into a 350 degree oven, and stirring once or twice over 20 minutes. Done. Freshly roasted nuts a great!

It is very fresh and test very good.Also I can store it at room temperature for longer time.

I love making salted or spiced roasted peanuts at home, I belive they are tastier and healthier than the store bought ones provided that you find a good recipe. However until we found this product, it had been difficult for us to get decent quality peanuts. These are really great, they are tasty and fresh, they make good roasted peanuts and can be consumed raw as well. Besides they come in a 5 pound bag which is enough stock for 3-4 months. You may prefer keeping it in its own sack but I like transfering them into cotton pouches and keep it that way so that it gets less effected from the humidity around (neither dries up, nor gets humid)Adding it on our subscribe and save list we save upto 20% and the good thing is unlike many other subscribe and save items whose prices fluctuate ridiculously up and down, this item's price stayed somewhat stable throughout the last year so we did not cameacross a nasty surprise when we cheked our invoice.

You can take the girl out of the south, but you can't take the south outta the girl! I love boiled peanuts. And because of the pressure cooker I don't have to wait days while the 50 gal barrel in the front yard cooks my peanuts!I guess this is the closest it comes to fast food-boiled peanuts.These peanuts are HUGE. They are high quality. Clean. Evenly sized. They appear fresh. They taste GREAT!I extremely satisfied and happy with these peanuts!"Peas, Peas, Peas, Peas, eatin' goober peas. Goodness how delicious, eatin' goober peas….."
