"Consumers have told us they want the flavor and quality they expect from Hampton Farms in a format that's even easier to enjoy," said Eric Boonshaft, Senior Director of Marketing at Hampton Farms, in the recent release. "These new pouches deliver exactly that — bold flavor and the crunch peanut lovers know us for, now shelled and ready to go."

Available in two flavors, the Salted Peanuts offer a classic roasted-and-salted taste, while Cajun Flavored Peanuts bring a bold, savory kick for snackers craving more heat. Both showcase the large size and satisfying crunch Virginia peanuts are known for.
