I love peanuts, and prefer the shelled ones. Salt snacks are my favorite, and the peanuts just don’t have the same impact without shells. When people see me eat peanuts, shells intact, they either look at me funny or tell me i’ll die VERY VERY SOON. So, tell me: is there any real danger to eating peanuts with their shells?
