Virginia Peanuts are the largest peanut in size but make up only ~15-20% of the total peanut commodity volume. These gourmet snack peanuts are hand, kettle cooked with a unique brining process which soaks them in water/salt solution and then oil roasts. Therefore, the salty and spicy flavors, respectively, are coming from within the nut, as opposed to topical application which is more common with typical peanuts. This process also results in a unique crunchy texture. We know you will enjoy them as much as we love making them for you! Emerald Chocolate Virginia Peanuts, 10 Oz
