Hines Nuts Company | PEANUTS RAW IN SHELL Bag 16oz (Great for making your own boiled peanuts) Ideal to feed Outdoor Wildlife

Used to get these at the grocery store but nobody seems to have them anymore. These are much cleaner than the usual raw peanuts for wildlife and I prefer better quality for my parrots.

I am thoroughly impressed and totally satisfied with this product -- I will DEFINITELY purchase more! OK, I did find them kinda pricey, but I was so happy with the item that I will learn to live with that. This package arrived in a very timely manner, and I just could not wait to try out these raw peanuts. I immediately cracked one open and popped the tasty little morsels into my mouth. As I chewed and savored, The Past came rushing back to me!!! Yes, I did indeed buy them with the intention of eating them raw, which actually demands a superior peanut than is necessary for boiling them – and these did NOT disappoint! However, there is an FDA warning printed on the package reminding us that these peanuts "have not been processed" so they may carry/transmit food-borne illness. So, being no Spring Chook at age 66, I sadly and reluctantly shook myself and refraining from consuming them raw, decided to boil them. There is a pot on the stove at this very moment, having just completed my very first ever batch of home-boiled peanuts (I always just bought them from roadside stands in my younger Southern days)! Munching on them right now :) They are simply soooo AMAZINGLY YUMMY :) Now, I am a Dixie native (currently misplaced in that frigid, frozen wasteland known as Connecticut) and have eaten raw peanuts and hot boiled peanuts my entire life -- well, until moving here. And as I often have been over the past 23 years, was suddenly stricken earlier this week with the intense desire for raw peanuts (or even hot boiled). So being a loyal Prime member for about the past 20 years, it finally dawned on me that I should check for my heart's desire therein. DUH !!! The rest, as they say, is history. Of course, before purchasing I made use of Amazon's loyal customers and looked to y'all for honest opinions. Of all the raw peanuts available, this one seemed to have the highest percentage of positive ratings. I want to add that the package is very clearly marked with a "Best By" date of 03-09-24, so it's well within a very reasonable shelf life expectancy for this product. For those unhappy with the freshness – or even moldiness – of their orders, I would ask you all to remember that these little gems are HIGHLY perishablethere, and there is a VERY specific peanut harvest season – typically May until November – which can account for some quality issues when purchased too far beyond that window. Again, I could not be happier with this purchase! Thank you, Hines Packaging, and Thank You, Amazon!!!

Good size, fresh aroma and texture

These worked great in the instant pot. 2 hrs (pressure cooker on high) and done! They’re not as big as I’d hope but are good enough to satisfy my cravings. I didn’t follow the instructions to add 1 cup of salt, it really only needs about 1/2 cup or a little over.

These were yummy

Love these. Not to salty

The peanuts were OK, but I found out that I do not care for boiled peanuts. Bought them for an experiment.

I found that the price was a lot for the amount of $ paid .
