SEVERN, N.C. — Just in time for summer grilling and barbecue season, Hampton Farms announces the debut of its new Hickory SmokeHouse flavored in-shell peanuts. Marrying dry roasted peanuts with a "straight from the smokehouse" taste, Hickory SmokeHouse peanuts have a bold flavor and crunch that goes well with other popular summer foods and beverages. It's a perfect addition to any cookout.
Available in 10 oz. packages, Hickory SmokeHouse peanuts can be found in the fresh produce departments of leading regional and national supermarket chains, including Food Lion, Giant, Kroger, Publix, Ralphs, Stop and Shop and Wegmans. Suggested retail price is $1.99.
Research shows more Americans are turning to snack peanuts at all times of the day to keep energy levels elevated and hunger at bay. With more than 30 vitamins and nutrients, peanuts are a Superfood. Peanuts have more protein than any nut ? at 7 grams per one ounce serving ? and more antioxidants than broccoli, carrots or green tea. Like all plant-based foods, they are naturally cholesterol free.
"Consumers are looking for new flavors in all their snacks, and the Hickory SmokeHouse flavor pairs wonderfully with the iconic taste of peanuts," said Tom Nolan, vice president of sales and marketing at Hampton Farms, America's leading in-shell brand. "We think they'll enjoy the uniqueness of our Hickory SmokeHouse peanuts as much as they have our Cajun Hot Nuts for the past 15 years."
Founded in the early 1900s and headquartered in Severn, NC, Hampton Farms remains family owned and devoted to producing the finest nut snacks available. The company now operates four facilities across the country and produces delicious peanut snacks by selecting only the best quality, USA-grown peanuts and roasting them the old-fashioned way, with no oils or preservatives added.
