Why are peanuts salted/flavored when they are still in a shell?

[revoltub]

Same with sunflower seeds. You arent supposed to eat the shells of peanuts and especially the shells of sunflower seeds. Yet people still buy flavored seeds and nuts.

It seems like these are for people who just like to suck on nuts for a while for no reason. Just makes getting the actual nut out way messier.

Any nut suckers here?

when i played baseball, i played with a bunch of guys who ate the entire sunflower seeds lol. that's fucking crazy haha. on the other hand, it's a pain in the ass to have to open each one to get that little-ass piece. i think the guys ate the seeds for the salt. they're drenched in salt.

You really have to chew sunflower shells if you are gonna eat them whole. Peanuts shells arent as harsh to digest imo.

I will still eat peanuts in the shell once in a while. I chew and swallow them right away though.

Good intentions with a dash of laziness.

You can buy them without salt and once you know how to peel them with teeth it becomes very easy. I dont get the apeal of salted nuts or seeds in general just prefer pure nuts.

Sunflower seeds can be bought w/o shell, but damn salty. I heard eating some hard shit can cut up your intestines.

Also, unsalted cashews cost more than salted cashews. WTF? You'd think they're saving on salt cost w/o salt.

I knew guys like this in high school. I did it occasionally. Usually I'd take a huge handful, tuck that into my cheek, and crack each individually in my mouth and spit the shell out. Would last a few innings

Because there is a market for it and some people like them that way?

You can also buy them unsalted if you prefer them that way.

QUIT TELLING ME HOW TO ENJOY NUTS IN MY MOUTH!!!!!

I suppose it adds roughage to your diet. Keeps you from getting constipated. But I always thought the whole point eating sunflower seeds was to battle boredom by shelling them with your teeth/tongue and spitting out the remains. Or to battle nicotine addiction by giving folks who normally chewed tobacco something else to orally fixate on.

lol, i definitely think there's some truth to this. though during the games i was pitching and we were batting, i was usually following closely, or my coach would talk to me about how to approach the next inning of hitters.

Huh. We had sunflower seeds playing ball as well. Noone ever picked the shell for seed lol. That would get you laughed at badly. Grab a handful throw in mouth and chew on it for the flavor till flavor faded. Never saw anyone actually pick the seeds 1 by one. Lol Why wouldn't you just buy the seeds then.

haha, so your experience was that all the guys ate them entirely? pretty funny. yeah, most guys would open the shell for the nut inside then spit them out. there were thousands of the shells in the dugouts. and the clean-up crew would sweep them all up, and as soon as the next game was over, there would be the same thousand+ shells on the ground.

One thing I remember about baseball is having perpetually salt-chapped inner checks from chawing on sunflower seeds all day. Miss those confession stand nachos, taffy squares and jumbo flavored ice pops.

No noone ate the shell you threw a bunch in mouth then just chewed on it till flavor faded then spit it out . Never saw a single person in dugout opening seeds by hsnd to get kernel. I played all 4 years.

 

[RoastBeast]

You throw a handful in your mouth, split the shell with your teeth, eat the seed and then spit the shells out. I've never heard of any of this other stuff you guys are talking about. It's like you grew up in towns where people didn't know how to eat seeds and shamed others for not eating seeds like retards.

Hmmm, some MMA English instead of the usual MMA math.

Peanuts, salted, in the shell.

Nuts, salty, in the shell.

Salty in the Philly shell is Sean Strickland...and people say Sean is nuts.
