can u boil roasting peanuts? I'm from florida and are craving some boiled peanuts, but I'm in ohio! I bought a bag of peanuts but there not green I think there roasted.

I'm not aware of peanut varieties cultivated for roasting vs. boiling... But I know you should't boil roasted peanuts! Some people boil green peanuts (fresh peanuts that have recently been harvested/dug out of the ground) and enjoy them. Others (like me) prefer raw peanuts for boiling (these have basically just been dried for long-term storage). They have not been roasted or cooked. Look for raw peanuts at your grocery or a farmer's market. Soak 'em overnight and boil 'em all day (jumbo peanuts can require up to 8 hours of boiling). As you surely know, do add lots of salt (and a six-pack never hurts). Enjoy! THIS PENUT BAG OF BOIL
