Review of 'Hubs' Home Cooked Virginia Salted Peanuts

Hubs -- Home Cooked Virginia Salted Peanuts (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
Summary: these are mighty fresh and crunchy peanuts...the best-tasting, freshest peanuts I've ever had. Yes. It's true. They're perfectly salted and the salt is really what makes or breaks a batch of peanuts! I do wish there was more information on the brand and ingredients (e.g. non-GMO?) on the official website. I'm still going to ravenously devour these until I find a better brand. If you're a peanut connoisseur, you definitely have to try these!

Where to buy: Hubs online shop

I'm gonna go ahead and assume that the ingredients aren't organic and non-GMO, simply because it's not stated on the website. So for those of you looking to stay away from GMOs, maybe emailing the company would be best (but I wouldn't hold my breath). Still, I don't know if I can say no to these peanuts....they are simply delicious! And it does count for something that the ingredients and simple and free of trans fats and not artificial.

They're the perfect snack for anyone, but particularly for people who are active/working out and/or vegans and in need of protein and healthy fats. With zero cholesterol and very low sodium, the 7g of protein makes it a filling snack.
