Peanuts with shell are impossible to find

Unbelievable. I still can't believe with what I found out. I've been looking for peanuts with shell everywhere, I checked all shops, supermarkets, and also open markets, but all of them don't have them. I asked many people, and they said, "no, we never have peanuts with shell here. Only peanuts without shell". This is a bit frustrating as I love enjoying peanuts with shell. I like biting into peanut shells and cracking with fingers. Are peanuts with shell available in your town?

Yes, they're available here. When I was little, we grew peanuts on our farm...

@MarieCoyle Dad always had different gardens that he rotated crops through. Peanuts in a different garden every year. We had a potato garden, a watermelon garden, a tomato garden and a garden that we planted in green beans, green peas, corn, lettuce and cabbages.

Good to know that you grew peanuts on your farm. I bet it was so much fun to pull out peanuts out of the ground.

I believe they are. In Asian countries, peanuts with shell are available everywhere. But, not in Colombia.

@Shasha_ It’s surprisingly hard to find some kinds of foods, just not peanuts with a shell. There is one restaurant chain that serves buckets of peanuts with the shell as appetizers. Before Covid, they just had you throw your shells on the floor, and with every step there would be a crunch beneath your feet.

@Shasha_ Sometimes, it can be difficult to impossible to find certain things here. Then when that crisis is over, there is another one, or things get recalled and you can't buy them, it's an endless problem, for sure.

Yes, I know! We in Asia can find peanuts with shell everywhere in the market. When I was still in Indonesia, I could get peanuts everyday from the nextdoor neighbors who had small shops. That sounds nice to enjoy peanuts with shell while traveling with a train.

actually it's enough to squeeze 2 fingers, the shell can be opened, here you can buy one without the shell or one that is still intact.

Yes, they are available. They are abundant during the summer season. We usually find them in the public market. I will try to buy some for the next market day.

That's strange. I bought two big sacks of them last week at the grocery--they were on sale for $1 per bag. They were, however, salted in the shell. But my kids all love them, so I grabbed 2 of them as they usually are a lot more than that.

Colombian farmers grows peanuts on their farms. But when they sell them to the market, they remove the shells first.

Peanuts with shell are so common in almost all countries in Asia. So, it's not a surprise that you can get them everyday, everywhere.
