A packaged peanut product prepared by providing fresh in-shell green peanuts, boiling the peanuts in a salted hot water bath, air cooling the peanuts after boiling to cool the peanuts to a temperature range of between 100° F. to 175° F., packaging the peanuts into a high gas barrier container when the peanuts are within the temperature range of 100° F. to 175° F., vacuum sealing the container to remove air and seal the container, submerging the container with the peanuts in a cold tap water bath until the peanuts are chilled to the temperature of the cold tap water bath, and storing the container with the peanuts in a refrigerated condition, whereby the texture and flavor of fresh green peanuts can be preserved for an extended period of time by inhibiting enzymatic activity and microbial growth in the green peanuts without artificial preservatives or extensive high temperature pasteurization and processing.
