I can tell you that the bag says roasted on it but they do not taste like the american roasted peanuts. They taste like they were marinated in something, perhaps star anise. They are not moist, however, they are a little chewy. They shells do not look as dark as the roasted american kind. Thanks again! Thank you for getting back to me.

But if they are moist then it is most likely that they are boiled peanuts. As for using this recipe you can either use green peanuts or raw dried peanuts. Green peanuts are fresh peanuts usually in their shell. Raw dried peanuts in the shell are also available, but they are not really suitable for boiling. However raw dried peanuts out of the shell can be boiled using this same recipe. But cook the peanuts for additional 10 to 15 minutes. Valencia peanuts are great for boiling but they should be either green or raw dried ones. Hi Tina, I’m not able to tell you about he peanuts you purchased without seeing them.

The one's I buy have a very unique taste and they are a little chewy. They do not taste like they are roasted. If they are not the boiled peanuts, can you share the recipe? I love these peanuts!! Btw, I already have raw valencia peanuts. Will these work? Thanks!! I wanted to know if the “boiled peanuts” are the same one’s that I purchase in Chinese markets?

They have a very unique taste and do not seem roasted. They are not as crunchy. If they are not the boiled peanuts, can you tell me how to make these delicious nut. Thanks!!!

I loved hearing about your movie-theatre peanuts. I've recently experimented with making Chinese-style boiled peanuts myself, and they're great! I used the star anise but not the peppercorns; must try that next time. Previously I had only used salt when I boiled peanuts, or salt and Old Bay seasoning (which is also good).

My husband's family loves boiled peanuts. They are a specialty throughout the South in the US. I always enjoy seeing other methods for preparation of such seemingly regional foods. I love the concept of enjoying them with tea or wine. How lovely. I am facinated with this. My husband’s family loves boiled peanuts. They are a specialty throughout the South in the US.

I also love boiled soy beans, made in the same way. I sent you an email couple of days ago, and I hope you got it. We wanna reprint this article on our magazine, and of course, we'll give the credit to you and your website. Should you have any questions, please shoot me an email. Thanks a lot! Hi, Kian,

I never thought about it being disgusting when I was younger but I don't think I would patronize a place like that now.I love good salted shell peanuts and we keep a container of them on the countertop for snacking all the time. The best part is sucking the saltiness off my fingers when I am done. I've never had boiled peanuts though.
