They're not consistant. I buy in the shell peanuts all the time but
every bag tastes a little different, it's a crap shoot crop...
occasonally they aren't good except for the squirrels. I think buying
a good brand of natural peanut butter makes more sense, no labor and
somehow it's very consistant. And I don't care one iota about
organic... there is no such thing... it's a scam to extract dollars
from the pinheads who have no sense.
