How do I eat boiled peanuts?
Crack ‘em, slurp ‘em, slam ‘em down!
Eating boiled peanuts is easy but it can be messy! To eat ‘em like a pro, all you need to know are three easy steps:
Gently crack the peanut open using two fingers on one end. Push your fingers together and it should pop open, allowing you to peel back one half of the shell.
Ta-da! You’ve revealed the delicious peanuts and you’re ready to slurp ‘em up! Put the shell right up to your mouth and scoop or pour those luscious legumes right on in!
Enjoy! Eat those peanuts like a champ, and start the process over. Don’t even worry about that peanut juice on your face, it’s a mark of honor!
If you’re a little mess-adverse, you can avoid step 2 by using your fingers to scoop out the peanuts instead. You can also just eat the whole thing, shell and all (for true boiled peanuts lovers). No judgements!
