I must have eaten millions of peanuts in my life. I love ’em. However, it was only in the last week that I tried my first fresh peanut. I discovered that they grow them here in Sagada and sell them in the market.
Unbeleivable. Really! Fresh peanuts are so amazingly tasty. So much so that the revelational experience warranted is own dedicated blog post.
You see, a fresh peanut is still wet and moist from coming out of the ground. The peanut inside the shell, likewise. The hard ones you buy at the store are dried out– my misconception was that I thought that is how they grew! But fresh, they are a little mushy, purple in colour and FULL of flavor.
Unbelievable. You haven’t lived until you have had a fresh peanut.
