Tootie's Peanuts • a taste of the south up north •

Tootie's Boiled Peanuts is the ONLY place in the Twin Cities to get hot boiled peanuts!

The Official Snack Food of the South and soon the entire Country. Boiled peanuts are an addictive treat. - Boiled Peanuts made by boiling un-roasted peanuts in heavily salted water for a long period of time. Depending upon the quantity, a boil can go on for 2 to 4 hours. Varieties of peanuts grown for boiling are referred to as "green peanuts" as opposed to "roasting peanuts." Green peanuts are usually grown in small quantities for local use, whereas roasting peanuts are grown, usually under contract, in more expanded areas. The result is a very soft peanut in the shell, quite salty and easy to open. Boiling peanuts has been a folk cultural practice in the south since the 19th century. When the peanut crops would come in, usually in late August, unsold surplus peanuts would be boiled. Extended families, friends and neighbors would gather together around the peanut boil for a celebration of the harvest. Since they are very salty and eaten when still hot and wet, boiled peanuts are best enjoyed outdoors with sweet ice tea or your cold beverage of choice.
