8 Essential Snacks from Tennessee Peanut Company

If you’re anything like us here at The Coolector, you’ll find yourself succumbing to regular snacking intervals throughout the day and we’ve got a particular soft spot for legumes so we have definitely had our heads turned and taste buds intrigued by the delicious looking wares from the Tennessee Peanut Company. At the Tennessee Peanut Company, they are firm believers that a life worth living in the past is just, and if not more, worth living now.

That’s why they took a deep breath and a few years of silence to boil down just what they thought life should look like on a normal day. To the Tennessee Peanut Company, this looks like taking the time to sit a spell and play game of checkers, even if the to-do list is ever growing and never in short supply. That’s an ethos we can get behind and it is something that is infused into all of their awesome looking foodstuff and apparel. Check out our pick of 8 essential snacks from the Tennessee Peanut Company below:

DOUBLE DIPPED CHOCOLATE PEANUTS | $12

Chocolate peanuts are probably our biggest weakness here at The Coolector and never have they looked more delicious than these double dipped ones from the Tennessee Peanut Company. The chocolate is delicate and will melt in your hands, which requires a shorter travel time from the can to your mouth. The other alternative would be to expel the contents from the can directly into the mouth. Win, win.

SALT & LANTERN | BARREL AGED HONEY | $15

Whilst not strictly a snack, this awesome looking honey is too good to ignore. Tennessee Peanut Company start out with the mildest flavour and lightest colour honey harvested from a local apiary. Then they pour into a freshly emptied whiskey barrel from a local distillery. In the span of a year, rotating the barrel on a weekly basis, they wait for the flavour of the wood to incorporate into this amazing honey. The final product has a subtle tone that comes only with age.

SEA SALT & CRACKED PEPPER | $9

These sea salt and cracked pepper peanuts are familiar but in a different way. It’s on every table across America: Salt and Pepper. Now just add peanuts.

TRADITIONAL SALTY | $9

The old faithful. It is the roasting process which draws out the oils from within the peanut to the surface that gives it the distinct peanut flavour we all know and love. Another secret about the roasting process is that it also contributes to giving the peanut a texture that you would expect from a nut, since peanuts are actually legumes and not a nut at all. Shocking but true; the most iconic nut known to the public is actually a bean. Mind. Blown.
