How do they get peanuts out of their shells?
Been watching "How it's made" for years, and they never cover this one topic. I assume they use water to float the shells after they crack them - but what does the machine/technique/method/device look like that does that cracking without cracking the nuts?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Apparently, it's pretty easy. There are a number of websites about building your own. No water needed....
