Boiled peanuts are a popular Southern U.S. snack made by boiling raw or green peanuts in salted water, often seasoned with spices for added flavor. Originating in the region's agricultural heritage, this dish is rooted in Southern cuisine and is commonly associated with roadside stands, festivals, and home cooking. Nutritionally, boiled peanuts are a source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like magnesium, vitamin E, and healthy fats. They're lower in calories compared to roasted peanuts due to their water content. Rich in antioxidants like resveratrol, they may offer heart-health benefits. However, their sodium levels can be high, depending on the amount of salt used during preparation, which may be a concern for those monitoring their sodium intake. This humble snack serves as a tasty and nutritious option that is both comforting and culturally iconic.
