A Reader Writes: Raw Peanuts at the Market

The Churn by James Norton10/12/200910/12/2009

Reader Rebecca wrote to us yesterday: “This may not seem like important news unless you have a connection to the southern US, where boiled peanuts are a common snack, but I saw numerous Hmong farmers at the main Minneapolis farmers market today with raw peanuts, which merely need washing and a 3-hour simmer in heavily salted water to be astounding, addictive, and a treat I never imagined I could make with local peanuts.”

We learn so much from our community. We’re gonna’ try these.

I’ve seen these at both the downtown St. Paul and Burnsville farmers markets and been intrigued.

Maybe I’ll try my hand at some peanut butter this weekend. Thanks for the tip.
