Peanut Dudes

I will never support this business because of the way they run things.
Product is decent sometimes but their service is horrid most.

I buy a small packet once a while when i am in cerritos farmers market.
The peanuts are somewhat good, taste is good most of the times, sometimes most of the peanuts taste horrible with no taste.
But i am not giving 2 stars for that reason, the taste is worth 4 stars.
Last week, in cerritos market, there was this white haired guy, probably the guy who owns it. He was showing a bit too much attitude. There were 2 gentlemen tasting peanuts from the 3 sample packets — light roast, medium roast and dark roast.
Even before they could decide on what to buy, he just asked do you want medium roast, and simply tossed the packet at them without allowing them to answer.
then the gentlemen asked him to get a different flavor. This white haired guy simply threw the packets and it burst falling on the ground.
The white haired guy was so rude in his behavior that he started murmuring and stating — «decide what you want and dont waste», when the cause of wastage was himself.
He was simply rude to everyone coming to the stall.
When i was there, he gave me few seconds and asked, «tell me what you want», as if he was giving us peanuts for free.
I have never seen such attitude towards customer in any of US stores i have visited.
This guy has lost a customer in me. the two gentlemen who left the store after buying the peanuts said — «this is probably the last time i am visiting your store, take it easy»
for which this white haired guy responded very rudely again — «thanks i will take care»
Usually on saturdays, there used to be a lady and a man who used to treat customers well, but this guy has a lot of attitude,
if he is reading this he needs to understand that he needs customers to survive a living, we dont need peanuts only from his shop to live. we have alternatives.

I love pistachios as is, but Peanut Dudes takes it to the next level. If you like spicy, you must try the Jalapeño Garlic Pistachios. The Guacamole pistachios are also delicious, although not as intense flavor-​wise.
If you’re craving something sweet, I recommend the toffee cashews. Absolutely delicious. You can get 3 small bags of your choosing for only $ 5.

Brea farmers market. Tuesdays. Forgot to ask if he’s there every tues. But nice I didn’t have to go all the way to Long Beach. Awesome little find. Little because the bags are only 2 oz. (3 for $ 5). Definitely be back next week just for these guys.
We got toffee sunflowers seeds, p. brittle, and toffee cashews. All delicious. And I sort of like the small bags. Portion control ;) Yuummm!

It’s official! I’m hooked! Amazing pistachio selection especially if you like spicy… chile, habanero, jalapeño, garlic, lemon-​chili, you name it… they’ve come up with it. I also love the natural energy mix and salted pecons.
The prices are reasonable for the quality too — 3 bags for $ 5. I always pick up 6 bags for a grand total of $ 10. Best $ 10 I spend all week!!!
I always stop at their booth at the Southeast Long Beach Farmers Market every Sunday. It’s certified and really the best farmers market around.

Snacking on their pumpkin seeds right now. Yum!

Mmmmm. fresh roasted peanuts! You can’t beat it! I had peanut dudes @ a farmers market here in lbc and now my husband and I always have to stop for their tasty little peanuts :)

great at farmers market but i hate their peanut smell

3 bags for $ 5 at the Silverlake Farmers Market.
I scooped up a bag of toffee almonds and a bag of Japanese peanuts. *NOM* Third bag was for my dog. Freshly roasted peanuts! You best believe that my dog is now extremely well-​behaved. He goes nuts for these nuts. As do I…

Huge selection to pick from! I swear the bags used to be larger but they told me that’s not the case.3 for $ 5 and not just straight up nuts, but flavors too.
There’s a lemon almond that you should stay away from, and the jalapeño garlic pistachios are good when they are crunchy but this last batch was soft.
Generally they are scrumptious!
We’ve found them over at the Silverlake FarMar!

Nuts & Dried fruits! YUM!!!
PROS:
–3 bags for $ 5 (Awesome deal)
–So many different types of nuts and fruits to choose from.
–3oz. bags
–Smoked almond is sooooo addicting.
CONS:
–I’ve only found them at farmers markets.
–Get there early when they are fully stocked otherwise you won’t be able to get what you want.
Mental Note: When in SD, stop by the farmers market on Sundays for some nuts!

Since I’m allergic to nuts why am I reviewing these guys? I tell you why because they have a nice selection of NOT nut foods. Like dried fruits and freaking ZOMG toffee covered sunflower seeds!
Yesterday I got a bag of dried strawberries, dried cranberries and toffee sunflower seeds. I got home and tried them all. The dried fruits I got were just right. Not too sweet just how I like em. No added nastiness like store brands.
Peanut Dudes have made this person with nut allergies very happy :)

I get my fix of peanuts and snacks here at the Ocean Beach Farmers Market here in San Diego. We appreciate the fact that they send a crew down here every week.
I’m personally a fan of the toffee products, however the other options are unlimited. The lady tonight told us they will soon have an old fashoned style peanut butter soon!
Awesome…

Good stuff, got the glazed pecans.
Dude at the stand was super nice, even though he was setting up, he still found the time to try and get some girls to come over and talk to my and my friends, lol.
Just wish more came in a bag.

3 bags for $ 5! These peanuts are awesome and they have a wide selection. As of late since I’ve returned to trekking to farmers market I’ve gotten a different bag from these guys and I haven’t been disappointed, I love my Japanese peanuts! Till the farmers market… Definitely will be back!

Yep, I got more nuts yesterday! No, I didn’t grow another set of gonads or fall into some sort of dementia, but bought three more varieties of nuts from the Peanut Dudes.
First was the Chili Lemon Corn Nuts. The corn isn’t as puffy as the commerically-​available Corn Nuts™ you can get at the 7 – 11. They sure back a bit of a spicy kick, with a followup jab of lemony goodness. Ok, nuff fightin’ references…
Next was the Toffee Peanuts. Nothing really spectacular, other than a fresher taste than stuff you can get out of a can. I think they’re a tad sweeter than stuff from the store, but I think that might be the freshness talking. Ok, nuff about being fresh (like the Prince of Bel Air)…
Last was the Jalapeño Garlic Pistachios. Holy Jesus, Mother of God, these pack enough garlic to ward off Anne Rice’s entire pantheon of vampires and enough jalapeño to bring a tear to Chuck Norris’ eye. We all know that Chuck’s tears can cure cancer, but these won’t make him cry. Tasty, tasty tasty… I haven’t had a third of the bag yet… just super-​intense flavor.
Yes, the Peanut Dudes rock… about time I’ve give a 5-​star review too!

The Peanut Dudes have a great selection of both plain and flavored nuts. I went to their booth at the Long Beach Friday Farmer’s Market downtown. (Just a note, they have a booth on both ends of the farmer’s market so you can’t miss them as long as you go all the way to one end or the other.)
Nuts aren’t my favorite thing in the whole world but I’m learning to like them since they are really good low carbohydrate good fat snacks. I love that you can get 3 different varieties for $ 5. Right now, I’m munching on the Honey Almonds. They are really fresh and tasty.

A peanut is not actually a nut, it’s a legume.
Seriously though, peanutdudes have a small store here in Garden Grove, CA on Main street (across from Costco). I was happy to see non-​commercialized bags of nuts and seeds for cheap. I asked the girl working there what she recommended and she advised the caramel sunflower seeds. Mmm, can’t wait to try out the other nuts they have.

Small booth at the GG farmer’s market. They offer 3 bags for $ 5 from a various selection.
We grabbed bags of chili pepitas, unsalted cashews, and cajun peanuts. I really want to try the toffee and candied nuts, next time I suppose.

Good-​bye, pretzels. I have a new lover. A steady supply of nut. That’s what a girl wants. That’s what a girl needs, dammit! Nuts of the crunchy and nutritious variety are available in full display and peanuts roasting in the open air is where you’ll find the Peanut Dude at the Long Beach Farmers Market. I’ve since learned from the website that this peanut man does business in several local farmers’ markets. I am hooked on the Peanut Dude’s nuts. I am partial to his pecans and peanuts, but his cashews are very delicious, too. If you like your nuts blinged, you can get some designer nuts like lemon almonds, toffee cashews, hot fiesta mixes, wasabi peas, toffee peanuts, pepitas, pistachios, soy nuts and seeds… sunflower, pumpkin… and dried and candied fruits, mango, cranberries. The prices are reasonable and you can buy them by the pound or pack.
No more sitting up with a bag of cheap pretzels or Doritos while watching a vintage episode of Soul Train. No. I now have less time for Fried Pork Skins and a fascinating episode of Cheaters and more time for Mystery on PBS with a bag of pecans. They provide toasty saturated protein, good fat, omega 3 (walnuts) and fiber. The Peanut dude offers many ways to get your fix when needed; online, or catch him at a Famers Market near you. (check the site) I still have the inclination to cuddle up to a small box of Cheez-​its and a Law and Order marathon. Because you know how it goes… sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t.
Cheesy line? No… nutty!
