I’ve been craving some boiled peanuts but can’t find any. I live in the Champions area and don’t really want to drive across town. Tomball maybe?

Update:

Upsidepub Menu

I spoke with them and they will sell me more than the appetizer size. The app was $3.25 for about 6oz. They will sell more at $8.50 per pound. I can't run down there until Monday but they were super nice and I could have as much as I want.

ETA:

Have never found them in greater Houston. We make our own. Raw peanuts, crawfish seasoning. Cover with water in a crock pot and let cook for about 8 to 10 hours.

That’s the problem. I’m more of an instant gratification kind of guy.

Any stands around?

Bump

It’s been a year so I thought I would ask again. Any boiled peanuts in the Houston area?

That looks promising. I’ll give them a call to see if I could a larger size than an appetizer.

If you ever see Hardy Farms in your grocery store, give them a try. They are in the fresh produce section near bagged salad etc.

They are pretty easy to find in GA but I think they are selling all over the country.

They started out as a roadside stand.

I’m usually a purist and prefer just salt but their spicy ones are the best I’ve ever had.

They do ship by the way. They also ship green peanuts.

I’ll look in the stores both convenience and grocery. However I’ve found that boiled peanuts must not be popular in Houston. I grew up in North EBR parish with a dad from Mississippi and we could find boiled nuts all over. I googled last year and all of the convenience stores that came up did not do them anymore.

ETA. We always just had salt, not crawfish boil, but I’m sure they will be fine. Boiled peanuts must truly be a Southeast thing.

Stands are everywhere here. I sold boiled peanuts as a teenager a couple of summers.

Funny thing though, I rarely really make themself.

Hardy Farms products are legit.

Haven’t looked at cost/shipping but they are worth trying if the price is reasonable.

Hardy online had them for $14 for half pound. The local place will do them for $8.50 for a pound. It will be a 40 mile round trip to go into Houston but I need to go into the city Monday anyway. Thanks for the info. I had hoped there would be someplace up in North Harris county or even Montgomery
