I dunno, but there's also a Chinese variant in which the peanuts are
boiled in a strong enough brine that water is drawn out of them, to
produce a perfectly salted peanut in the shell, which, when dried, is
crunchier than roasted peanuts. Sounds a bit weird, I guess, but quite
addictive, and, I assume, lower in fat than roasted ones.
