Hooray for boiled peanuts

Growing up in India, we kids (Arjun and I) loved eating boiled peanuts! It is still a snack that brings back memories of childhood. The warm, wet, salty snack that mother used to make for us and had to keep us from eating too much of.



Some years back, we found out that the Chinese also eat boiled peanuts thanks to our friend Darrell. Today, I came across this article on the web, that proclaims the health benefits of boiled peanuts as opposed to the roasted kind or peanut butter. From the article, I learnt that boiled peanuts are also a staple in the southern United States. In fact, it appears to be South Carolina's offical snack food!

It's all good to know. I'm looking forward to introducing this favourite food of mine to Anjali when she gets a bit older :)
