Whole peanuts!? Only if you're looking to add fiber intake and choke while doing it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

gaggg!.!.!.!. the shell is covered in pesticides, peanuts are among the most heavily sprayed crop

Although I used to lick the peanut shell b/c it was all salty, now I think that is gross

I do eat the peanut skin if that is what you mean, it will give you more nutrients, so peanut butter from unblanched peanuts is probably healthier than those with blanched peanutsWww@FoodAQ@Com

I think people do this because usually you eat peanuts when at a baseball game or when watching something, so instead of going to the trouble of eating the peanut inside they just pop it in there mouth!. I do not know if it is bad for you, but this is why I think they do it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If they are steamed, you can eat peanuts, shell and all!. Personally, I don't really enjoy them that way!. The shell doesn't really have much taste, and the texture is rather unappealing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

THe shell may contain nutrients that are not in the peanut inside!. However i would not recommend doing that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Eww no!. The outside shell tastes horrible! I do suck the shell sometimes to get the salt of of it though!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Very good question!.!. You see!.!. often times feces is used as fertilizer!.!. and some people just like the extra nuggets of flavor!.!. as for me !.!. I de-shell every time!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
