peanuts in shell

They’re marketed mainly as wildlife feed and used to attract outdoor animals. Listings recommend placing handfuls in a peanut feeder or tossing them in the yard to attract squirrels, birds, chipmunks, ducks, geese, raccoons, deer and similar wildlife.

Snack/shelled peanuts in the results are typically listed as roasted and “Ready to Eat.” The in-shell peanuts marketed for wildlife are described as not roasted and are explicitly labeled as not for human consumption.

Snack peanuts are usually labeled “Ready to Eat” and note they’re roasted/prepared for human consumption. Wildlife in-shell bags are explicitly marked with warnings such as “NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION” and describe use for feeding wild animals.

Wildlife-targeted peanuts are promoted as a high-energy food, rich in oils and fats and relatively high in calories and protein to support growth and health; some listings also reference proteins and essential fatty acids.

Recommendations include storing peanuts in a cool, dry place. One listing advises short-term storage at or below 60°F (refrigerate) and extended storage at 40°F or below (freeze), and notes the product arrives in an easy-to-store bag.
