Hancock Peanut Company Launches Bold New Snack: Big Salted Red Skin Nuts

red skin peanuts

Craving a crunchy, flavorful snack packed with real southern tradition? Look no further—Hancock Peanut Company is proud to unveil its newest sensation: Big Salted Red Skin Nuts.

With decades of heritage rooted in VA/NC/SC’s  rich peanut-growing soil, Hancock Peanut Company continues to deliver premium quality and unbeatable taste. The launch of Big Salted Red Skin Nuts marks a bold new step in our commitment to flavor, freshness, and the unmistakable crunch that defines America’s favorite legume.

What Are Red Skin Peanuts?

Red skin peanuts are a variety of peanut known for their reddish-brown outer coating—a natural skin that adds a distinctive taste and texture. Unlike blanched or skinned varieties, red skin peanuts retain more antioxidants and nutrients, including resveratrol and dietary fiber. That means these aren’t just delicious—they’re better for you too.

By slow-roasting our red skin peanuts in small batches and dusting them with just the right amount of sea salt, we’ve perfected a recipe that’s as satisfying as it is simple. Big Salted Red Skin Nuts are everything you want in a snack: bold, hearty, and wholesome.

Why “Big” Makes the Difference

When we say big, we mean it. Hancock selects only the largest, highest-grade peanuts to ensure maximum crunch and flavor in every bite. Bigger nuts mean a more satisfying snack—and that signature snap when you bite into one? That’s how you know it’s Hancock.

Perfect for game day, road trips, lunchboxes, or just a well-earned midday pick-me-up, Big Salted Red Skin Nuts are designed to please peanut lovers of all kinds.

Small-Batch Roasted, Big-Time Flavor

Unlike mass-produced snacks, our peanuts are slow-roasted in small batches to guarantee optimal freshness and consistency. The result is a peanut that’s crispy, golden, and deeply flavorful, with just the right balance of natural peanut taste and a touch of salt.

We take pride in using no artificial preservatives or flavorings—just real, high-quality peanuts and a sprinkle of sea salt.

Buy Direct from the Source

Starting today, customers can purchase Big Salted Red Skin Nuts directly from our online store at www.hancockpeanut.com. We offer convenient shipping across the U.S. and bulk discounts for wholesale buyers, retailers, and event planners.

Looking for a gift idea? These red skin nuts are sold in sturdy, resealable 20 oz metal tins, making them a perfect addition to holiday baskets, corporate gifts, or snack cabinets everywhere.

A Crunch Above the Rest

There are a lot of peanut brands out there—but none that match the care, craftsmanship, and heritage of Hancock Peanut Company. From our family –> to your family table. With Big Salted Red Skin Nuts, we’re bringing that legacy to a new generation of snackers.
