Fresh, Jumbo Raw Peanuts from Virginia arrive in the shell. These are the largest that are grown. In shell jumbo raw peanuts are ideal for those who like to eat them raw. You can also cook them to your own taste. Our jumbo peanuts are a healthy treat that is high in protein, fiber, and heart-healthy nutrients.
These are not green peanuts but many people still love to boil them. They just need be soaked overnight for at least 24 hours.
Please note: Due to crop availability we only have Jumbo peanuts instead of Super Jumbo.
Snacking on jumbo raw peanuts is great for your heart and overall health!

Over 80 percent of the fat in peanuts comes from the “good” monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.
Jumbo raw peanuts add a hearty dose of protein and dietary fiber to your diet. A one-ounce serving of these nuts provides 7 grams of protein and 4 grams of dietary fiber. Consuming jumbo raw peanuts also provides your body with a rich source of antioxidants, which have been shown to protect cells against the oxidative damage linked to heart disease, stroke, and other chronic conditions. Peanuts contain a specific antioxidant called resveratrol, which is the same kind found in grapes and wine that has been shown to improve heart health and reduce excessive inflammation in the body.
