I grew peanuts for the first time, and it was very easy.
But I had no idea how to process them, and now they seem to be off.
I don't like raw peanuts, but roasting a bigger quantity seems to be a lot of work.
How is it done?
What do you do with your peanuts?
Medicinal herbs, kitchen herbs, perennial edibles and berries: https://mountainherbs.net/ grown in the Blue Mountains, Australia
Here in Japan they leave them out in the sun to dry for a couple of weeks after harvest until the shells get hard, then store them in a dark drafty barn until processing.
I would think the easiest way to process is making peanut butter!
Feeding some to your local crows isn't a bad shout either if you're looking for passive livestock guardians.
Roasting a big batch isn't as much work as it sounds honestly. Spread them out on a tray, 180C for about 15-20 minutes, shake halfway through. The shells tell you when they're done. Once you've got roasted ones you can make peanut butter pretty easily too, just blitz them in a food processor until smooth.
