Being from the South, I was raised on boiled peanuts. They have been a snacking staple for as long as I have memories. It was quite surprising to me when I learned that these little treats are a Southern thing, and not necessarily loved the whole world over! I started boiling my peanuts in a bag years ago. With as much as we boil peanuts in my family, I started making up little "kits" that I could throw in the crock pot. I'd simply pull one out the night before, and have delicious peanuts by game time the next day! Once my friends saw how simple it was (just add water), they started asking me to make bags for them to take home. What was simply my way of boiling peanuts has evolved into Porter's Boil-The-Bag Peanuts! We're family owned and operated out of Gilbert, SC and can't wait to send a bag or two, or four (or more) your way!
It really is that simple! Each bag contains peanuts and a unique blend of seasonings that is ready to cook upon arrival. Better yet....you cook them right in the bag! Just drop the entire, unopened, bag into a slow cooker, stock pot, or Instant Pot and come back when it's peanut snacking time! Each bag yields right around 3.5 lbs of delicious cooked peanuts and is similar in size to a 5 lb bag of flour.
All of our peanuts are shipped via USPS or UPS Ground. Free Shipping is available on all orders! Expedited Orders ship the next business day! While every effort is made to get orders out in a timely fashion, we have no control over packages once they ship. There will be NO REFUNDS ISSUED FOR DELIVERIES ARRIVING PAST EXPECTED/ESTIMATED ARRIVAL DATE!
We sell red skinned valencia peanuts because...well... it's what we grew up on! Valencia peanuts have a sweeter taste than a white jumbo peanut and are prized for their superior taste.
Valencia peanuts make up less than 1% of the entire U.S. peanut production! They are the peanuts used traditionally for Southern Boiled Peanuts! They are also used in all-natural peanut butters, due to them not needing additional sweeteners added. We source all of our peanuts out of west Texas.
Valencias peanuts require strict growing requirements that only make them commercially available in Texas and New Mexico. With their increasing popularity and stringent growing restrictions, getting a steady supply is a rather tough nut to crack! Lucky for us, we have some wonderful partners who really look out for us to make sure we always have enough peanuts to supply our ever growing Peanut Family!
Our latest crop of peanuts has been one of the biggest challenges we've had in many, many years! One of the leading growers was affected so severely by drought that they brought NO PEANUTS to market this year! The other growers brought peanuts, but much less than in typical years. It has caused a feeding frenzy for the few valencias available! While we are experiencing smaller peanuts than in past years due to the drought, we are beyond thankful to have peanuts at all! It was very touch-n-go for several months in 2022!
As always, we could not be more thankful for all of ya'll giving us the "problem" of having to "elbow" for peanuts! We do it gladly!
