Hancock Peanut Company, a trusted name in high-quality peanuts since 1944, is excited to announce the upcoming release of their premium Red Skin Peanuts—a nutrient-packed snack that brings both bold flavor and impressive health benefits to your pantry.

Red skin peanuts, often overshadowed by their blanched counterparts, are gaining recognition among nutritionists and health-conscious snackers alike. Packed with antioxidants, fiber, and plant-based protein, these peanuts offer more than just a satisfying crunch—they support heart health, help manage blood sugar, and may even play a role in reducing inflammation.

What Makes Red Skin Peanuts So Special?

Unlike the common blanched peanut, red skin peanuts retain their thin, reddish-brown outer coating. This natural skin is more than just a cosmetic difference—it’s where much of the peanut’s antioxidant power resides. The red skin contains resveratrol, a plant compound also found in red wine and grapes, known for its anti-inflammatory and heart-protective effects.

According to recent studies, the antioxidant levels in red skin peanuts are significantly higher than those in skinless varieties. These antioxidants combat free radicals in the body, which are linked to chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and cognitive decline.

A Powerhouse of Nutrients

Here’s a snapshot of the nutritional value packed into a single serving (1 ounce) of red skin peanuts:

• Protein: 7 grams of plant-based protein support muscle maintenance and overall body function.

• Healthy Fats: Mostly monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are good for heart health.

• Fiber: Approximately 2.5 grams, promoting digestive health and prolonged satiety.

• Vitamins & Minerals: Including Vitamin E, magnesium, niacin, and folate—essential for metabolism, nerve function, and cardiovascular support.

With this nutrient profile, red skin peanuts are an ideal snack for people on plant-based, heart-healthy, or low-glycemic diets.

Heart-Healthy & Diabetes-Friendly

Numerous studies have confirmed that regular peanut consumption is associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. The presence of arginine, an amino acid that helps relax blood vessels and improve circulation, along with magnesium and healthy fats, makes red skin peanuts a smart choice for maintaining heart health.

For those managing blood sugar, red skin peanuts offer a low glycemic index, meaning they won’t spike blood sugar levels. The combination of fiber, healthy fat, and protein slows the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, making them a favorable snack option for people with diabetes or insulin resistance.

Perfect for Snacking or Cooking

Hancock Peanut Company’s red skin peanuts are roasted to perfection, bringing out a rich, nutty flavor with a hint of natural sweetness. They’re perfect as a stand-alone snack, tossed into salads, blended into smoothies, or used in trail mixes and granola.

“We’re proud to introduce red skin peanuts as part of our lineup,” said Scott Hancock Duke,  “They represent our ongoing commitment to quality, flavor, and health—exactly what today’s consumers are looking for.”

Sustainably Sourced, Locally Grown

As always, Hancock Peanut Company sources its peanuts from local Virginia and Carolina farms, supporting sustainable agriculture and family-owned operations. Their upcoming red skin peanut release will be available in 20 oz vacuum sealed cans.

Coming Soon

The red skin peanut line is set to launch before Memorial Day and will be available online. Whether you’re looking for a healthy snack or a tasty ingredient to elevate your meals, Hancock’s red skin peanuts are a natural choice.

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news with our peanut-loving, Pirate-proud community: Proud Pirate Peanuts are officially SOLD OUT! That’s right – every last can of our signature East Carolina University-inspired peanuts has been scooped up, and it’s all thanks to you.

At Hancock Peanut Company, we’ve always believed that great peanuts and strong community spirit go hand in hand. When we launched Proud Pirate Peanuts, it wasn’t just about creating a delicious, crunchy snack (though we can all agree they were pretty irresistible). It was about celebrating the tradition, pride, and loyalty of ECU Pirates everywhere. And wow – you showed up in a big way!

From alumni and students to faculty, fans, and peanut lovers across the country, your overwhelming support helped make this a truly special campaign. Every can purchased supported not only a local, family-owned business but also directly benefited the East Carolina University Alumni Association – a group dedicated to keeping the Pirate spirit alive long after graduation.

We’re proud to say that a portion of proceeds from every sale went toward ECU programs that empower students, connect alumni, and honor the legacy of Pirate Nation. Supporting education, community, and tradition has always been part of our mission, and your purchases helped us bring that vision to life.

Whether you picked up a can for tailgating or, to send to a fellow alum, or just to enjoy a top-tier Virginia peanut roasted with pride, you became part of something bigger. Your enthusiasm reminded us of how special this community is – and how powerful it can be when we rally together.

As we close the lid (for now!) on Proud Pirate Peanuts, we want to say a heartfelt thank you. Your excitement, your stories, and your shared photos on social media made this one of our most successful limited releases to date.

So, what’s next?

While this batch of Proud Pirate Peanuts may be gone, we’re already cooking up more collaborations, special editions, and seasonal favorites to keep your shelves stocked and your taste buds happy. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter and follow us on social media to be the first to know about what’s coming down the pike.

And to our friends at the ECU Alumni Association – thank you for partnering with us in such a meaningful way. It’s an honor to support the Pirate community alongside such a dedicated organization.

Until next time – keep that Pirate pride strong, and don’t forget: there’s nothing quite like a Hancock Peanut.

Go Pirates!

With gratitude,
Hancock Peanut Company
