Edible Peanut Shells
We sent Betsy an E-mail asking if peanut shells could be eaten. She responded as follows. Thanks Betsy!
Peanut shells can be eaten. They contain some 6 to 7 percent crude protein and 60-70 percent crude fiber. We hear from quite a few people who say they enjoy eating the shells so you're in good company. I asked a food scientist friend if he knows of any problem with eating the shells and he said no. So enjoy!
