We have boiled peanut stands all around here or I would check produce stands. I don't think it's a grocery store item but I also see them a lot at gas stations.

Thanks, but unfortunately they are not as popular up here in Maryland as they are in SC (I'm from Charleston, BTW). If I could find them on the side of the road, I'd be very happy :) Christy

Christy - I had some last night! I usually boil up a huge kettle full and freeze them in quart-sized ziplocs. Then when I get a craving, I just nuke them until they're hot.

Unfortunately, you may not be able to get any green peanuts in Maryland. You can always order them and have them fed-exed to you here:

Christy I'm in VA. I can get them here in barrels at my grocer normally in the produce section. I'm really surprised that MD wouldn't have them.

You can also order them on-line through The Peanut Shop of Williamsburg or VA Peanuts. Shipping price doesn't look that bad considering what the cost of gas is today.:)

Any produce markets in your area?. Both of the ones I go to ( in Michigan ) sell raw peanuts, in the shells...

I'm curious, what's the procedure for boiled peanuts... Just cover with water and cook for a few minutes???

Thanks trixietx, I might take you up on that!!

Dixiedog, which grocery store do you see them in?

Ritaotay, I'll try checking a produce market, good idea!! To make them, I get a big pot of boiling water add peanuts and a lot of salt, and boil them for upwards of 6 hours. You taste them until you think they're right. I've recently discovered you can make them in a slow cooker; I want to give that a shot this time!! Christy :)

Christy I have bought them in Giant, Safeway and Wegmans. I have also seen them in Whole Foods. I'm not a huge fan of Shoppers Food Warehouse but they are there also.

Christy, I saw them this morning at the farmer's market. If you want them now, I'm sure they will have them next weekend. Let me know. You can email me through Gardenweb.

My SO is from SC and wants boiled peanuts from time to time. I find raw peanuts here in eastern Ky at Walmart of all places.

Christy - believe it or not, I was unable to locate raw peanuts in the stores/markets in North Carolina where they are grown! However, one can order them from N.C. which is what we do. Check on the web for various suppliers. Good luck.

Not sure how far Publix grocery stores reach up the coastline, but they carry them in the fruits section near the refridgerated OJ & juices. They come in 5lb bags..either Cajun seasoned or plain.

Publix also has the raw peanuts by the bag in the produce section, but they are the only grocery store I've seen them in. That's where I get 'em when I make boiled peanuts, once every other month or so.

I've seen the pre-packaged ones in Winn-Dixie and Wal-mart, but they don't compare.

I wonder if a health food store near you would have them?

Hey bryansda thought of you last night as I put in a Charlie's Soap order.

My Dad in Orlando sent me some in the mail yesterday!! They were in the slow cooker all night and are perfect today :) Thanks Arlene, for the offer :) Christy
