I haven’t had boiled peanuts in ages, so I want to make some. Anyone know where I can buy unroasted peanuts in town?

They do sell them. Source: have bought them. $2.50/lb, IIRC.

Thank you for asking this question, I never thought there'd be a place to buy them! I just buy canned ones from Walmart lol

Nicholas Coffee & Tea in Market Square roasts their own peanuts as well.

A previous thread suggests that dry unroasted peanuts will have to be boiled longer than green (fresh) peanuts.

Yeah, that’s very true.

I make boiled peanuts all the time in the slow cooker. Prestogeorge in the Strip District. It’s near Wholey’s

I used to work there, I'm sure they would be happy to sell you some unroasted ones if they have them on hand.

I used to get them at Nicholas coffee.

You might try asking at prestogeorge down in the strip. They roast their own peanuts so they definitely have some handy. Whether or not they can sell them to you is another story.
