| Author | Topic: Raw Peanuts |
| julian farah 10-31-2002 07:10 PM | Hi there, In México people use to eat raw peanuts, shelled by himself before eat, you can bougth them everywhere and are very cheap. Is it O.K. to have some once in a while? I don´t have any allergic to them. My wife is doing the diet because of the acne, could she have some too ? Julian |

(unless you pick them yourself) quote:Only if you are 100% sure that they are raw. Consuming non-raw nuts very likely causes acne... |

Raw peanuts inshell get cured or dried for about 4 to 7 days at a sunny place or in a dry area, then you can eat them. By the way, peanuts doesn´t grow in trees like apples or oranges, peanut grow in a plant and grow underground or at ground level. |
| RRM 11-03-2002 01:54 PM | quote:Because commercially sold peanuts hardly ever are; they are roasted in the shell. And since that is the case, you first need to make sure that they are really raw... I'm not saying that you cannot eat raw peanuts (dried or not), I'm just saying that commercially sold peanuts are hardly ever raw (at least in the US and Europe). |
| Dawn 11-03-2002 09:09 PM | Peanuts are not nuts---they are actually legumes. Are legumes(beans) allowed on the diet? I have eaten them raw and they taste terrible when they are raw. Where I live, in the U.S., the raw ones come already shelled and packaged in sealed plastic bags. All of the ones that are sold in the shell are always already roasted. |
| RRM 11-06-2002 02:30 PM | Thank you Dawn. You confirm what we have heard from other people; that they taste awful when consumed raw. And no, legumes are not permitted on this diet; you cannot eat them raw (by nature, they contain toxins and enzyminhibitors that need to be destroyed by heat first) |
| julian farah 11-13-2002 01:26 PM | Here in México you can buy in small towms in the country sun-dried raw peanuts and believe me that them tastes very good. In the other hand, you are right, them are classified as a legumes not nuts, but peanuts aren´t a legume as beans or lentils, anyway I woulkd like to know Wai´s opinion if it is possible. Thank you both and regards from México. |
| RRM 11-14-2002 05:08 AM | Sorry, Wai is off for a few weeks. But I think she would ask you how you know for 100% sure that they are raw? |
| julian farah 11-14-2002 08:53 AM | Hi, I know them are totally raw because I had picked up them directly from overground in a very sunny places in countryside. SALUDOS ! ! ! ! |
