Boiled Peanuts - Do you eat the shell?

Fall is the best time of the year. We have football, hunting, and fresh boiled peanuts. A gallon bag of all that spicy salty deliciousness at a tailgate is almost as good as crawfish season. I like them with a hint of crab boil. We have a debate in the office this morning on whether you should or shouldn't eat the peanuts whole.
Do you eat the peanut shells of boiled peanuts?

Do you eat the shell when you eat pistachios or pecans? Anyone that debates eating the peanut shell is a water head.

only the really juicy shells
otherwise I chew it up a bunch and spit out the MDF-like remains

I chew on the shell if they're good and salty, then spit them out.

Great, now I really want some boiled peanuts and tall glass of Coke Zero.

Might be a good source of fiber.

Yeah, I'll 100% eat the ones that are basically mush

Absolutely love boiled peanuts. Memories of my Mom making them every year as we welcomed football season to our house. Also added the crab boil to hers. Alzheimer’s robbed her of all that way too early in life.
But big NO on the shell eating!

Those aren't boiled tho. Can't compare.

Ain’t gonna lie, I eat the shell on roasted peanuts. Bash away

FYI, you're not going to get jacked drinking that stuff. I get drinking it with bourbon/rum, etc. on occasion but since you're trying to get yoked I'd stick with water for the most part. JMO

The smaller immature shells, called “pops” in some places, are edible. Otherwise, eat the nut, spit out the shells.
