Nothing says summer quite like a backyard BBQ featuring cold beer paired with flavorful peanuts and other crave-worthy snacks.

Boiled peanuts are a uniquely Southern snack with deep cultural roots and a loyal following. Made by simmering raw, in-shell peanuts in salty water until tender, this warm, briny treat is a staple at roadside stands and summer gatherings across the American South.

Peanuts are packed with nutrients that support heart health and have been shown to help lower cholesterol, reduce inflammation, and protect arteries from damage.
