If you sometimes crave a salty boiled peanut when green peanuts aren't in season, you should try Peanut Patch boiled peanuts.
Yes, I know what purists many of us are about our boiled peanuts and that there might be a bit of attitude about eating boiled peanuts from a can. But really, why shouldn't they be delicious if they're boiled just after they're pulled from the ground and then canned immediately?
That's how the Peanut Patch folks say they do it, and I was pleasantly surprised at how good they are.
The boiled peanuts come in three size cans: 13.5-ounce, 27-ounce and the gigantic 6 pound can. They also come in regular, Cajun and hot and spicy flavors. They're available in grocery stores all over the state.
