Do you eat the peanut shells?
- Thread starter Rösti

Sunflower seeds, yeah. Peanut shells? No, and I had no idea that was a thing until now, and it's not enough to get me to try either.
I've used lemon rind in a grated form, but never the whole thing. I can't even imagine the time my stomach would have with that or banana peels. Yeesh.

Restaurant and bar near my house gives free peanuts and they expect you to toss the shells on the floor. Don't eat floor trash.
Eating too many peanut shells could lead to an intestinal blockage. If you want fiber stick to psyllium husk.
What are you talking about? Bone marrow is a delicacy, although I can't say the same about peanut shells.
edit - is this the diet of a post fact society
I don't, but funny you mention that. I saw article where it suggested that that remove the outer husk and grind up the inside. Add it to smoothies or things like pancake batter. I was curious if it tasted good, but too damn lazy to try.
Not the same as eating it raw, but pickled watermelon rind is a thing.
Yeah but its not so you can eat the shell.

That's what I do. Couldn't imagine eating them unless they were boiled peanuts. Shit is going to splinter into a spike that cuts you all the way down one day. :x
No it's more like eating the feathers on the chicken.
Wait, when did it get weird to eat edamame shells? It's basically just a green bean.
I don't get why people are more shocked about eating lemon, orange or banana skins. The first two get used in cooking and I've seen monkeys eat banana peels. It's gross but seems doable if you want.
Peanuts on the other hand. The shell is dry, hard and stringy. There's nothing about it that says "hey I'm tasty, eat me"

The first two are very bitter. There's a reason people mostly use just the zest. I don't think I've seen the white part of the peel used unless that bitterness is intended and it's being soaked in something, boiled with other ingredients, marinated with, etc. That's different than raw.
edit: And even then it's usually discarded after preparation if whole or chopped finely. I've never seen big chunks of it served like if you were biting into an orange.
No. I was always taught to unshell them then toss the shells in the compost. I doubt they'd be too fun to eat.
No. I have digestive problems so eating things that cannot be digested isn't for me. Which sucks, because I love high fiber foods like broccoli and spinach and Korean vegetable-based plates in general.
but i eat shell macaroni as well!
and that doesn't have anything inside of it!!
Shrimp is fine if its fried but I only eat the part without the tail end. White rabbit candy you just ate it cause it was so hard to take the flim off in the first place.
I eat pumpkin seed shells but it feels like a cactus on the way out.
