This is the only way these vendors can get peanuts year round. During the summer you may get lucky and see a sign that says "Green Boiled P NUTS", if so, STOP IMMEDIATELY and buy as much as you can stand! (you can always freeze them for later.) Green peanuts (fresh out of the ground, i.e. not dried out) are MUCH more tender and only have to be boiled for a couple hours at the most (for 5 LBS!). You are right though, add so much salt that you are disgusted with yourself and then do it again every time you walk by the pot. That's the rule of thumb in the Lowcountry of S.C. Ham hocks or maybe jalepenos are acceptable additions to the pot as well. The “Boiled P NUTS” you see on the side of the road are most likely peanuts that have been dried before they become boiled.
