Raw peanuts have been air-dried and have lost much of their moisture. This helps them last longer on the shelf, but they have NOT been roasted. You can absolutely use raw peanuts in this recipe, but be sure to increase the pressurized cooking time by about 15 minutes to account for the loss in moisture.

How do you eat boiled peanuts?

Okay first things first, do NOT eat the shell.

• Put the entire boiled peanut into your mouth, and use your teeth to crack the shell open
• Slurp up all the delicious salty brine inside
• Remove the shell and peanuts from your mouth, use your fingers to open the shell the rest of the way, take out the peanuts with your fingers, and pop them into your mouth
• Discard the shell
