Preparation Peanut shells break
easily with the hands. The inner skin is edible, but is also easily
removed if desired. Peanuts are either fresh or roasted if in the shells.
Roast peanuts at 300° F. for 30 to 40 minutes in their shells, and 20 to
30 minutes after shelling. Peanuts can be boiled in the shell to prepare
them for making peanut paste and similar recipes.
1 pound peanuts in shell will yield two-thirds of a pound shelled |
1 pound of shelled peanuts measures slightly over 3 cups. |
Serve themselves for snacks, as peanut
oil, peanut butter, in cookies, as an icing, in confections and baking.
