It describes what this business is about. You actually get a twofor with your purchase. This was two separate businesses for over ten years and now is combined into one and has continued for an additional eleven years. So you can choose to operate one or both. They both make money. My wife was known as 'The Cadillac Lady' and sold the staples that you will read about later and I am known as 'The Peanut Man'. She no longer goes out to the flea market with me but she is my 'Ninja Shopper'. She buys and I sell. Her products still bring in the money. We knew each other for over ten years before we started dating and then wound up getting married thus the combining of the two. Our grandson Kaleb wanted to make sure we told you 'The Cadillac Lady' married ' The Peanut Man' so there you go K-bob. I sell boiled and roasted peanuts at the flea market. Boiled peanuts is a big thing in the south and now I have a lot of people from the north, west and east hooked on them too. I believe from talking to people from different parts of the U.S. there is a real gold mine waiting for anyone to start selling these peanuts. Not many people are doing this. I would love to be the new kid on the block selling peanuts. I have people who buy them and then ship them all over the U.S. It isn't hard to do this business and as you will discover the money is real good. You can buy a bag of peanuts for $42.00 then add water and salt and retail them out on average for $375.00. Like most anything the flea market is seasonal. There are eight good months when I sell on average two to three bags a week-end and the other four months I sell one or two bags a week-end. So for the few hours I set up each week end you can see that the profit is very good. Some people look for a busy intersection on week-ends and find a place to set up on the side of the road. You can set up right out of the back of a van, pick up truck or your car. I have a friend who has been selling roadside for thirteen years. He also sells a little bit of produce. He sells 5 days a week and has made a fantastic living . A few other places people set up are: Close to the football stadiums on Sat. & Sun...Lots of traffic; I know a couple who have been doing this for years at the gator games and they make a killing on Saturdays. They get em before and after the game. Another person I know labels, bags and puts them in convenience stores for sale. Little league baseball games is another place you can sell, farmers markets, car shows, art festivals, almost any outdoor event. Just look around for good spots to set up. Be sure to find out what license you may need to sell. You can check with your courthouse to find out what license you may need for roadside and the manager at the flea market will let you know what you will need there. Now keep in mind you could go to a flea market or sell roadside every day if you choose to. Some people go to a different market every day. I have worked the same market for 20 years. They are only open Saturdays and Sundays. The management has been very good to me. I am the only vendor allowed to sell boiled peanuts. They want good dependable vendors. Show them that they can count on you and maybe they will give you an exclusive. People will brag on your peanuts and management will pick up on that, you then become a draw for them. I choose to just work the weekends. I usually stay 5 or 6 hrs.depending on the traffic (people walking by) and then go home. So for those few hours a week end the money is very good. Thats what makes the flea market the perfect business. If you choose to work 5 to 7 days a week you will make a very, very good income and if its just a couple of thousand dollars you want to make a month then just do it on the week ends like I do. Chapter 2: Cooking Equipment-What You Need To Get Started: You will need to buy a 60 quart pot with a lid. A free standing cooker, propane tank, and two 5 gallon buckets with lids, thats it. You can usually pick up all these items at the flea market for less than a hundred dollars. You can also go to where they sell camping equipment and buy new. As you start to sell more you can buy additional equipment (bigger pots & another cooker) to save time but for now thats all you need. If you have the funds to purchase the extra equipment that is great. Chapter 3: Choosing Your Peanut-Green Or Jumbo Some people prefer the green peanuts. These are seasonal and of course they are fresher. They cost more and are sold by the bushel. I sell the dry raw jumbo peanuts. I find that most people like the taste and size of the jumbo. Plus these are available year round. There is also a dry raw peanut called the valencia. It has a very good taste but is smaller. Of course the choice is yours so try them all. The dry raw peanuts come in 50 pound bags and as of this writing are selling for $42.00. Go to any produce outlet to buy them. If for some reason they don't have them they can order them for you. Just ask and then they will start to order each week for you. Chapter 4: Step by Step Cooking Step 1: Cut your bag of peanuts across the top. Take two of your 5 gallon buckets and fill each one to the very top. Now take whats left in the bag and pour them into another container. Take the peanuts in the buckets and pour them back into the empty bag. After doing this a few times you will know the exact amount 2 buckets contain. Take the bag with the peanuts outside twist the top and place them into a 32 gallon garbage container. Find a cement block or something heavy and place on top of the peanuts to weight it down. Fill the garbage container with water until the peanuts are completely covered with water. Put the lid on the garbage container. Let the peanuts soak for 18-24 hours. Thats it for day one. Step 2: Take the lid off the garbage container and place it upside down on the ground by your side. Take the cement block out of the garbage container and put it away. Grab the top of the bag and push and pull up and down a few times as though washing. Pull the bag of peanuts out and place it on the lid. Empty the water out of the garbage container. Place the bag back in the container and fill with water just enough to cover peanuts. Now rinse again. You might want to repeat this one more time.

Peanuts are one of the main food allergens, occasionally responsible for life-threatening reac- tions. Thus, many studies have tried to fi nd a connection between peanut allergy prevalence and processes in the peanut chain that may contribute to the peanut allergenicity. To inform this discussion, this paper outlines experiences in peanut cultivation, trade and processing in Europe, focusing on four European countries with different peanut experiences (Poland, Bulgaria, Spain and the UK). Material and method. Results here are based on documentary analysis and semi-structured, face-to-face interviews with 32 experts involved in various stages of the peanut chain, including peanut farmers, proces- sors, traders, food technologists and manufacturers. Results. A common peanut chain diagram has been drawn considering shelled and in-shell peanuts. The analysis of each stage of peanut processing has been made in accordance with this peanut chain schema.

It originated in South America and spread throughout the New World as Spanish explorers discovered the peanut’s versatility. When the Spaniards returned to Europe, peanuts went with them. Later, traders were responsible for spreading peanuts to Asia and Africa. The peanut made its way back to North America on sailing ships in the 1700s. Although there were some commercial peanut farms in the U.S. during the 1700s and 1800s, peanuts were not grown extensively. This lack of interest in peanut farming is attributed to the fact that the peanut was regarded as food for the poor and because growing and harvesting techniques were slow and difficult. Until the Civil War, the peanut basically remained a regional food associated with the southern United States. After the Civil War, the demand for peanuts increased rapidly. By the end of the 19th century, the development of equipment for production, harvesting and shelling peanuts, as well as processing techniques, contributed to the expansion of the peanut industry. The new 20th century labor-saving equipment resulted in a rising demand for peanut oil, roasted and salted peanuts, peanut butter and confections. 300 Uses Also associated with the expansion of the peanut industry is the research conducted by Dr.

  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions by Ned Hémard
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Goober Peas Most Southerners recognize the terms goober and goober pea as other names for the peanut. Also known as earthnuts, groundnuts, monkey nuts, pygmy nuts and pig nuts, the peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is a species in the “legume” family (Fabaceae), the third largest family of flowering plants. Of all the “legumes”, the peanut is especially fascinating because it develops below the ground. And like the tomato and the potato, the cultivated peanut was probably first domesticated in Peru. By the time Columbus reached the New World, it was being grown throughout the warmer regions of the Americas. Soon the peanut was introduced into Africa and Asian countries where it became an important ingredient in their local dishes. Brought to China by Portuguese traders in the 17th century, the peanut is widely used in Southeast Asian cuisine (particularly that of Thailand and Indonesia). This delicious “legume” came to Indonesia from the Philippines, where it arrived from Mexico in times of Spanish colonization. What would satay be without its delicious peanut- based sauce? The peanut root system contains nitrogen-fixing bacteria that convert inert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia. Other bacteria convert the ammonia into nitrites that enrich the soil. George Washington Carver was one of many USDA researchers who knew this and encouraged Southern cotton farmers in the South to grow peanuts instead of, or in addition to, cotton, because cotton had depleted so much nitrogen from the soil. He is often credited with inventing 300 different uses for peanuts (which did not include peanut butter but did include salted peanuts).

  • Peanuts Producing Peanuts
    Alabama Ag Mag Peanuts Producing Peanuts Peanuts are unusual because they �lower above ground but fruit below ground. Peanuts are legumes, which means they are plants with simple dry fruit. Their growing cycle takes about four to �ive months, depending on the type of peanut. Did you know? About half of the peanuts grown in the United States are grown within a 100-mile radius of Dothan, Alabama! Types of Peanuts 1. Runner Peanuts Runner peanuts are the most common type of peanut in the nation and in Alabama. Runners have high yields and attractive, uniform kernel size. Fifty-four percent of the runners grown are used for peanut butter. Runners are grown mainly in Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Texas and Oklahoma. 2. Virginia Peanuts Virginia peanuts have the largest kernels and are most commonly roasted or processed in the shell. When shelled, the larger kernels are sold as snack peanuts. Virginia peanuts are grown mainly in southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. 3. Spanish Peanuts Spanish peanuts have smaller kernels covered with a reddish-brown skin and are usually used in peanut candies, snack nuts and peanut butter. Spanish peanuts have a higher oil content than other peanut varieties, making them preferred for cooking oils. They are primarily grown in Oklahoma and Texas. 4. Valencia Peanuts Valencia peanuts usually have three or more small kernels to a pod and are covered in a bright-red skin. They are sweet peanuts and are usually roasted and sold in the shell. They are excellent for fresh use as boiled peanuts and are primarily grown in New Mexico.

  • March 23, 2017 – National Peanut and National Nutrition Month
    DATE: March 23, 2017 MARCH IS….. NATIONAL PEANUT AND NUTRITION MONTH March is a month filled with many food events and activities. Besides being National Nutrition Month, March is also National Peanut Month. National Peanut Month had its beginnings as National Peanut Week in 1941. It was expanded to a month-long celebration in 1974. The peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is actually not really a nut - it is a legume, the same family as beans and peas. There are six cities in the U.S. named Peanut: Peanut, California; Lower Peanut, Pennsylvania; Upper Peanut, Pennsylvania; Peanut, Pennsylvania, Peanut, Tennessee; and Peanut, West Virginia. Boiled Peanuts were designated as the Official Snack Food of South Carolina in 2006. Peanuts originated in South America, where they were cultivated by Indians for at least 2000 years. As early as 1500 B.C., the Incans used peanuts as sacrificial offerings and entombed them with their mummies to aid in the spirit life. Spaniards and Portuguese slave traders introduced them to Africa and Europe, and slaves introduced them to the American South. Though there are several varieties of peanut, the two most popular are the Virginia and the Spanish peanut. The Virginia peanut is larger and more oval in shape than the smaller, rounder Spanish peanut. Unshelled peanuts should have clean, unbroken shells and should not rattle when shaken. Dr. George Washington Carver researched and developed more than 300 uses for peanuts in the early 1900s; Dr. Carver is considered "The Father of the Peanut Industry" because of his extensive research and selfless dedication to promoting peanut production and products.

    In 1500 B.C., Incans Used Peanuts As Sacrificial Offerings, To Aid In The Spirit Life. On September 13 National Peanut Day pays homage to mighty and tasty peanut. Likely originating in South America around 3,500 years ago, this legume is not a nut. They grow underground like potatoes. Since they are an edible seed that forms in a pod, they belong to the family Leguminosae with peas and beans. For the longest time, livestock gained the greatest benefit from all these nutrients. Until modern methods came along, planting and harvesting peanuts were a labor intensive and risky endeavors for farmers.Gradually their popularity grew. From Civil War soldiers who found a fondness for them to PT Barnum’s traveling circus. But what made it possible for peanuts to be grown in abundance was an advancement in farm technology. Just like the cotton gin revolutionized the cotton industry, planters and harvesters transformed not only the peanut farm but farming the world over. Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack ~ lyric from Take Me Out to the Ballgame (1908) by Jack Norworth and Albert Von Tilzer. When the boll weevil wreaked havoc on the South’s cotton crop, Dr. George Washington Carver, who had already been researching this amazing groundnut, suggested farmers diversify into peanuts. It was an economic boon to Southern farmers. He published his research “How to Grow the Peanut and 105 Ways of Preparing it for Human Consumption” in 1916. His continued research resulted in more than delicious uses for this goober, groundnut or ground pea. From shaving cream to plastics and cosmetics and even coffee, Dr.

    Journal of Food Distribution Research Volume 51, Issue 1, pp. 78–90 Price Discovery and Integration in U.S. Peanut Markets Hannah Hawkinsa and Senarath Dharmasenabi aUndergraduate Honors Student, Department of Agricultural Economics, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843, USA bAssistant Professor, Department of Agricultural Economics, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843, USA Abstract The United States is a major supplier in the world peanut market. Using grower-level monthly peanut price data from 1982 to 2018, we estimate market integration and price discovery patterns at the grower level by applying causality structures identified through machine-learning algorithms. Preliminary analysis shows that Georgia is a price leader and others are followers in current and lag time. Peanut prices in Texas and Georgia are important determinants of prices in other markets such as North Carolina, Virginia, and Alabama.
