So... how did boiled peanuts in a bag come about?

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!

I grew up in Georgia and sure missed the boiled peanuts. I have ordered from a couple different places and they were not real good. These peanuts remind me of my childhood and are awesome! Thank you

I lived in Florida for 20 years. There was a roadside seller who sold boiled peanuts. These taste just like them. I pressure cook for 3 hours 45 minutes and then let them soak in the hot water for 12 hours.

I made the Cajun peanuts for Halloween and absolutely loved them! I'm from Florida and moved to Colorado over a decade ago and can't find boiled peanuts anywhere out here. I'm so glad I stumbled on this site because these were so great and it made so much that I was able to share with my family and coworkers. I will absolutely be purchasing these again. Thank you!!

What a wonderful treat this was. The peanuts were a good size, and the seasoning just right!! I used my instapot and followed the directions. So delicious. Thank you so much!!

We ordered once and used our instapot for cooking. Peanuts turned out great! We have placed a second order. You probably won't like this next comment. Since we have been ordering, we have procured 40 pounds of green peanuts and put some in the freezer. As good as your peanuts are, there is nothing like the smell of green peanuts boiling in the fall and eating them while watching college football (we are truly southerners)!. We will continue to enjoy your peanuts after we run out of our green ones!

We grew up on boil peanuts and now when we go to the Outer Banks every summer we purchase them to take to the beach. Now...no more! I have a bag to my son and he was just as excited.

Have used this product in the past and the craving hit for more. Love the product especially the Cajun flavor. Thankyou for the great snack. My husband loved boiled peanuts and got me hooked, he recently passed away but I will keep the love of them going in his memory.

Customer video review of Boil-The-Bag Boiled Peanuts (2 Bags)

I had these in my crock pot for the last 10 hours, and they crack open really easily. The flavor has really permeated and they are delicious, with just a little bit of a bite. The bag was tied really tight so I had to cut off the string, but other than that it makes everything really easy because it comes with all the seasoning. It definitely has a considerable amount of salt in it, so I would be mindful of that if you are salt-conscious.

I live in New England but I'm from Alabama. These boiled peanuts brought me right back to the South! Also, I had them ready for college football, the same weekend Auburn beat Georgia. Im not saying it was the nuts but rest assured I'll be having another bad for the Iron Bowl. War Eagle, go nuts!

Welcome to your new addiction! These peanuts are so delicious save yourself some time and just order the 12 pack

This peanut brittle is fantastic. Not only is it delicious, but it's also softer than most brands, so you get all the crunch without feeling like you're going to break a tooth. The texture and flavor are just right, and it's quickly become one of my favorites.

Customer video review of Boil-The-Bag Boiled Peanuts (2 Bags)

I have already boiled one of these bags, and the first one is already gone. You just stick the peanuts right in the cloth bag into your Instant Pot or slow cooker with a gallon of water, and the pre-filled seasoning packet is right inside. When you boil it, it releases all the seasoning and they come out very fresh and so yummy. It is really a great way to make pounds of boiled peanuts right at home.

Living in Las Vegas for the past 10 years - after living in GA my whole life - meant getting boiled peanuts was only a treat that I got when I visited home. Not anymore - these were some of the best boiled peanuts I’ve ever had and they were shipped to my home in Vegas and delicious 10/10 recommend.

Sadly I didn’t take a picture but I’ll do better next time. I have seen these for months but was hesitant to make the purchase. Nothing but time wasted! These are the best boiled peanuts and I am officially a fan! Literally next to a roadside stand, you cannot beat these. I laughed at the serving size question because the answer is so true. My husband and I ate nearly a whole bag in one sitting! So freaking good! Highly recommend for any boiled peanut lover!

As a west coaster that loves boiled peanuts, I have trouble finding my favorite snack when they are no longer in season. This gives me the freedom of enjoying a southern dish without having to drive there. Can’t wait for my next order. The onion and garlic flavor was addictive.

I’ve always liked and enjoyed boiled peanuts. These are what I needed here in New Mexico.

I went to the warehouse in Saluda,SC and bought 4 bags of onion and garlic peanuts. They are amazing and so easy to cook in the instant pot. Best peanuts I’ve ever had. While there, I got the pleasure of meeting Brad. Brad was amazing as well, very friendly, great to talk to and learned a lot about the business he runs. The great things boil-the-bag does in the community to provide already boiled peanuts to sale is wonderful. I will continue to buy these peanuts from Brad instead of the store because of the personal touch that comes with the peanuts. Thank you Brad for such a great experience at the warehouse.

Customer photo review of Boil-The-Bag Boiled Peanuts (4 Bags)

I had a friend recommend these. Living in Missouri, you can only get a canned variety of boiled peanuts. My brother lives in South Carolina, and I love visiting and getting real boiled peanuts there. I made my first bag of your peanuts the other day in my crockpot. It was like I was back in South Carolina. My daughter came home and sampled them, and she said they were the best ever, and I totally agree. I would highly recommend these.

Seriously, what a joy to get! I took one over to our son and kept one for us! Both of us were so excited to get boiled peanuts as well as something easy to make! Even our grandchildren loved them! Now to get some more for Christmas presents!!! It's so nice to pass on our NC heritage/memories to our children and grandchildren. The stories that my father gave to us picking the green peanuts out of the ground and our grandmother making it for her 8 children is now being passed on to our children and grandchildren! Thank you!
