Salted boiled peanuts are a popular snack in the American South. They're made using only fresh, raw (or, as they're called in the US, "green"), recently picked peanuts in their shells. They're boiled in generously salted water until the shells are soft. The longer you boil them, the softer and saltier they'll be, depending on your preference. Boiled peanuts are not only a nutritious snack but also a popular party snack. They pair perfectly with a cold beer.
