The level of moisture inside the peanut is the basic difference between green & raw peanuts. Green peanuts have a higher water content so they must be refrigerated upon harvesting to maintain their freshness. Raw peanuts are air dried to lower the water content – this makes raw peanuts less perishable.

We do not recommend freezing green peanuts before cooking.  After the green peanuts are boiled, they freese well.
