THINGS are getting nutty around here. Peanuty to be exact.
Peanuts are an auspicious symbol of longevity in Chinese culture and with Spring Festival around the corner, any celebration of the New Year will be incomplete without peanuts.
The peanut can be in shells, or blanched, or roasted in the shell with or without salt. They can also be coated with other flavors. Any of the above snacks are traditionally served at family reunions during the Spring Festival.
Peanuts are also widely recognized as a good companion with beer. A decent pint and a bag of peanuts can make for a party in your mouth.
Since peanuts are highly perishable in all forms, they should be kept in tightly sealed containers away from moisture and heat. They should be consumed in a short period of time.
