Why is it that peanuts from the shell are better than from a can?

Chicken on the bone>than boneless
Fish on the bone>boneless

Same deal.

because they're really oysters...

Cooking things in their natural state is very important. Bones and shells impart flavors that are lost when they aren't present.

bones don't impart flavor. there is very little evidence that bones can provide any flavor during cooking outside of braising.

shells offer protection and very, very little if any flavor. the difference between unshelled and shelled peanuts is the slow brine/roast and the lack of blanching.

Because when you work for something, the reward is that much sweeter.

Makes sense.
shaved > au naturale.

Oh, wait

Did some body say tits and boiled peanuts.....it's been over a week but finally a good post.

Boiled peanuts are fricking terrible. It's nothing but salty, greasy mush, which I'm sure is why over 80% of boiled peanut fans are at least 85 years old.

I meant in a jar I guess. I like fresh boiled. The canned boiled suck
