Changing West Coast food culture via The Dirty South… In the true spirit of the deep south we would like to share our most coveted snack… the boiled peanut! Given the inability to acquire these tasty morsels in San Francisco, we began this project out of selfish want. Not long after relocating to the bay area from Atlanta, Ga. and Charleston, SC, did we discover that If we wanted to enjoy the savory snack in the way we’d grown accustom, we’d have to make our own. We also knew that the only thing better than devouring a batch by yourself, is sharing your nuts with your friends, so we took the necessary steps to produce and distribute our first west coast batch on July 4, 2009. Since then, Dee’s Nuts has continually found steadfast converts with each foray into the unsuspecting public. It is our ongoing goal to familiarize those unfamiliar, and provide the starved enthusiast with the delicacy of the boiled peanut. Hey man.. Check us out! Mr. Ben Venom & The K.T.

These phytochemicals have antioxidant qualities that protect cells against the risk of degenerative diseases, including cancers, diabetes and heart disease. <br/><br/> 2. Boiled Peanuts contain resveratol, a plant chemical also found in red wine, which studies have shown to have a protective effect against cancer and heart disease.<br/><br/> 3. Major studies have found eating peanuts can lower the risk of heart disease, cut the risk of diabetes and assist dieters. <br/><br/> 4. Boiled peanuts are loaded with many vitamins and minerals and they are high in plant protein. Also, the fat content is primarily monounsaturated and polyunsaturated.</p>http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/766494692http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/766494692Sat, 03 Jul 2010 16:14:37 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3m2t5OvrF1qbekbgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Mom boiled up a batch today!</p>http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/670783225http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/670783225Sun, 06 Jun 2010 17:10:11 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3lqwbcXtf1qbekbgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Folly Beach, SC</p>http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/670133508http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/670133508Sun, 06 Jun 2010 12:51:58 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3cn2jUv1k1qbekbgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Back in the dirty dirty!</p>http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/653989149http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/653989149Tue, 01 Jun 2010 14:51:10 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3bqgb9sT41qbekbgo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3bqgb9sT41qbekbgo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3bqgb9sT41qbekbgo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3bqgb9sT41qbekbgo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3bqgb9sT41qbekbgo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3bqgb9sT41qbekbgo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3bqgb9sT41qbekbgo7_400.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3bqgb9sT41qbekbgo8_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3bqgb9sT41qbekbgo9_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3bqgb9sT41qbekbgo10_500.png"/><br/> <br/><p>We were invited by THIS Los Angeles to increase boiled peanut awareness.  It was fun.</p>http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/652548290http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/652548290Tue, 01 Jun 2010 03:07:22 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l39x0xzB3l1qbekbgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>It was cool hanging out with <a target="_blank" href="http://www.fudgefactorycomics.com/">Travis Millard</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.melkadel.com/">Mel Kadel</a> at THIS Los Angeles this past weekend.</p>http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/649265163http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/649265163Mon, 31 May 2010 03:34:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l36s0gXUrp1qbekbgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Tea tree- note the knot in the string - Learned that one in Ms. Petrusak’s home economics class in 8th grade.</p>http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/643869611http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/643869611Sat, 29 May 2010 10:51:54 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l36p653SAg1qbekbgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>DIY Labels;)</p>http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/643737137http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/643737137Sat, 29 May 2010 09:51:16 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l36p1m7DtF1qbekbgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Reachin’ a boil!</p>http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/643731749http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/643731749Sat, 29 May 2010 09:48:29 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l36oz2EaXs1qbekbgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Mmmm… Breakfast!</p>http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/643728928http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/643728928Sat, 29 May 2010 09:46:55 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l366mpv7Cy1qbekbgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/643064501http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/643064501Sat, 29 May 2010 03:10:31 -0400<iframe src="//www.tumblr.com/video/grabournuts/641982864/400" id="tumblr_video_iframe_641982864" class="tumblr_video_iframe" width="400" height="533" style="display:block;background-color:transparent;overflow:hidden;" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>LA!</p>http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/641982864http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/641982864Fri, 28 May 2010 19:20:37 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l35aprXrCB1qbekbgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>All packed up for Los Angeles!</p>http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/641502142http://grabournuts.tumblr.com/post/641502142Fri, 28 May 2010 15:41:21 -0400
