Give a special treat to your backyard friends by feeding them Wakefield Peanuts! Our peanuts are a favorite of many squirrels, wild birds, pigs, deer, chipmunks and more. Wild Birds Whole peanuts are popular with larger birds where smaller birds will take the peanut and break them into smaller, easier to eat pieces. These peanuts can either be sprinkled around your yard or put in a bird feeder for access. Peanuts are a very popular treat among Blue Jays, Towhees, Grackles, Crows, Jays, Ravens, Woodpeckers, Northern Cardinals, Dark-Eyed Juncos, Pyrrhuloxia, Titmice, Tits, Chickadees, Nuthatches, Wrens, Doves and more! Pigs In shell peanuts are one of the most natural foods a pig can enjoy. They are full of nutrients and are a superb source of protein and energy in their diets. In fact, peanuts are the only in shell nuts that a pig can enjoy. That is because peanut shells are soft enough that they wont tear any part of the GI tract as theyre chewed up and swallowed. Squirrels Peanuts are great for attracting squirrels to your backyard in the warmer months. They are perfect for filling the squirrel feeders or sprinkling around your yard. In colder months, squirrels often forget where they buried their nuts over the summer. Feeding squirrels peanuts as a dietary supplement over the winter helps them find food in times when it is scarce. Deer Many deer enjoy in shell peanuts as a snack. Since deer are creatures of habit, it may take a little while for them to adjust to eating the peanuts. Try leaving some peanuts out when there are deer in the area and over time it will become a regular occurrence. Once this happens, you will consistently attract deer to your yard so you can admire their natural beauty. Use and Storage of Raw Peanuts As with many raw agricultural food products, it is recommended that raw peanuts be cooked before consumption. See below for instructions on cooking peanuts. To maintain best eating quality, store peanuts in a cool dry place. For short term storage (a few days) keep at or below 60 F; for extended storage keep at 40 F or below.
