There are several ways to quickly peel peanuts. This is done by frying, microwave or boiling water. Each method is good in its own way.
Do I need to peel peanuts
Whether peanuts need to be peeled or not, everyone decides for himself. However, it is worth remembering that the husk of this nut is the strongest allergen. In addition, it contains coarse dietary fiber. Therefore, allergy sufferers and people suffering from diseases of the gastrointestinal tract need to use this product purified.
Gastroenterologists and nutritionists argue that peanut husks are garbage that prevents the body from breaking down starch and proteins.
Unpeeled peanuts are recommended for food if a person adheres to a diet. In small quantities, the husk will act as a kind of brush, which will cleanse the intestinal walls from all that is superfluous. However, at the same time, the permissible norm is 5-10 kernels per day, since the nut has a high calorie content.
You can eat peanuts with husks. For most people, it will not cause any inconvenience or complications in this form. Before consuming peanuts with husks, you need to study who is at risk:
- tendency to allergies;
- liver disease;
- gout;
- disturbances in the work of the pancreas;
- arthritis.
From all of the above, we can conclude that for people with a strong stomach, not suffering from allergies, the husk of a nut will not do any harm.
Peanuts are not recommended to be consumed in any form while breastfeeding. Even if the mother does not have any negative reaction to it, the nut can cause diarrhea, abdominal cramps or hives in the baby. Therefore, during this period, it is advisable to completely abandon peanuts.
How to quickly peel peanuts
Peeling a small amount of peanuts from the husk will not be difficult. But when there are a lot of nuts, the process can be significantly delayed. If the product is used in cooking, it is fried. So it is not only easy to clean, but also gains an excellent aroma and taste.
To quickly peel peanuts from the skin, use a regular vegetable net at home, which can be purchased at any supermarket. If it has large cells, it is simply folded in half.
Nuts are fried in any convenient way. Place them in a net, tie it up, and place them on a tray or wide flat dish. The contents of the net are processed by imitating the movements of dough kneading. After half a minute, the husk will be crushed and remain on the spread, pouring out through the mesh cells.
You can peel a peanut in another way. For this, a small amount of the product is placed in a bag or cloth bag. Take a rolling pin and roll it without pressing too much so that the kernels remain intact. Pour into a bowl and start cleaning the next batch.
How to peel peanuts at home
Peeling peanuts is a rather laborious task, since the shell is tightly connected to the nut. It will be very difficult to remove it in the usual way. Painstaking work will require a lot of time and effort. Therefore, there are methods that will greatly speed up the process. The easiest way is to pre-roast the nuts.During heat treatment, the shell loses moisture, becomes brittle and easily peels off at the slightest mechanical impact on it. You can fry the product simply in a pan or in the oven, laying it in a layer on a baking sheet. Stir the nuts constantly so that they brown evenly.
There is also a microwave cleaning method.

How you can use peanut shells
Do not throw away the shell of the walnut. If there is a vegetable garden or summer cottage, it is used as fertilizer. The shell is burned, and the resulting ash is used when planting potatoes. A tuber is placed in the hole, lightly sprinkled with nut ash on top. Agronomists believe that this method will protect the seed from pests.
Scientists have developed a walnut shell air-purifying filter. The principle of operation lies in the microorganisms that are contained in this product. They break down toxic compounds into water and carbon dioxide. This installation is used in the production of paints and varnishes. The author of this invention, Mexican Raul Pindera Olmedo, is sure that this is an excellent biofilter that can be used in everyday life.
