Anywhere to Buy Green (fresh raw) Peanuts?

Anyone know if we have a local source for green peanuts? I'd like to make some boiled peanuts but not sure whether the nuts are even sold outside of the South. We are still in the peanut season, at least the latter part.

Man I miss those peanuts. Yes I have bought raw peanuts here. Not exactly sure but I only shop at Co Op, Albertsons and Lowes on Lomas so it was one of those places.; ▶ Reply to This

Although my mom is from the south and I've been there dozens of times including lazy summers as a kid, last week was the first time I'd tasted boiled peanuts. What a great snack - puts edamame to shame on taste. They remind me a bit of purple hull peas, another southern fave.

I've seen raw shelled nuts here but not raw, green (recently picked) in-shell peanuts so was at a bit of a loss.; ▶ Reply to This
