"While the A&M study may have come as a surprise to some, Dothan’s own “expert” on the subject wasn’t surprised at all when he heard about the health benefits of his boiled peanuts.


“That sounds about right,” said 79-year-old Byron Trawick, who has been selling boiled peanuts in Dothan for more than 25 years.


Standing outside of Trawick’s Hot Boiled Peanuts, a small white trailer at the intersection of West Main Street and Ross Clark Circle where you’ll find him seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Trawick was quick to point out Monday that there’s no nut like a boiled peanut.


“Boiled peanuts are really the best peanuts you can eat. I don’t think there’s anything about a boiled peanut that can’t be good for you.” said Trawick, who is known by many as simply “the peanut man.”


Like Walker, Trawick said the key to boiling peanuts is to not overdo it. Trawick’s recipe is simple — “Just plain peanuts. Just salt and water” — because, as he said, “You can make a mess out of good stuff sometimes.”


Simple. Just the way Trawick likes it. So don’t expect see any “Peanuts prevent cancer” signs the next time you’re headed South on Highway 231.


“They’d probably just think I was trying to sell peanuts,” Trawick said. ” ... People don’t even believe their doctors anymore.”"
