Direct Snacking from the shell : It is a Fun to Eat Act. Opening the shells is a fun, interactive experience, and it can be a great snack for social settings like picnics or sporting events.

Roasted In-Shell : Often sold roasted in the shell (salted or unsalted), making them a quick snack or appetizer. Can also be roasted at home.

Boiled Peanuts : In-shell peanuts are traditionally boiled in salty water (especially in the Southern US) to create a soft, savory snack.

Wildlife Feed : They’re often used to feed birds or other animals, as the shells protect the peanuts and make them more accessible to wildlife.

Decoration or Crafting : The shells can be used for arts and crafts, including homemade wreaths or as a filler in natural décor projects.
