The Planters Special Reserve peanuts are arriving in celebration of National Peanut Day -- September 13 -- to provide consumers with an elevated take on the simple snack.
The limited-edition product consists of peanuts specially grown by the brand on less than 150 acres in Virginia, and have a larger size than standard peanuts while also having a naturally reddish skin. The peanuts are hand-cooked to achieve the perfect level of crunch, creaminess and saltiness in every bite, according to the brand. The product will be available via a special website priced at $19.06 -- a nod to the brand's founding year -- but only while supplies last on National Peanut Day.
Brand Manager for the Planters Brand Kate Coombs commented on the Planters Special Reserve peanuts saying, "We are excited to offer this exclusive product to our loyal fans and to honor the long-standing legacy of Mr. Peanut. Planters Special Reserve peanuts embody the pinnacle of quality and taste, and we are delighted to celebrate National Peanut Day with such a premium offering.”
