Are you supposed to eat peanut shells? No. Not in the way you’re supposed to eat vegetables or chocolate. They’re not food; they’re packaging.
If you accidentally eat one, you’re not going to the hospital. You might just have a gurgly afternoon. Think of it as a fiber challenge you didn’t sign up for.
So, next time you’re munching peanuts, do yourself a favor. Crack the shell. Toss the shell. Eat the peanut. Your insides will thank you. And your friends won’t judge your crunching noises. Win-win.
