PERFECT PEANUTS

Frequently taken for granted, peanuts rarely surprise us. But then we were sent a selection of Hubs Virginia Peanuts and, no joke, we were genuinely surprised. Blown away, really. And when’s the last time you could say that about a peanut? Maybe it’s Dot Hubbard’s cooking method, maybe it’s the peanuts themselves—large, crunchy and nearly flawless from what we can tell—maybe it’s something else, we don’t know, but these are the best peanuts we’ve ever had, bar none. Incredible in every flavor, we’re partial to the simple “Salted,” which will be a fixture in our home from now on, and to Hubs Peanut Brittle, which we’re planning to send to friends this holiday season. It’s been a long time—never, in fact—since we found a peanut worth writing about. Hubs are worth it, and you should try them.
