The ruby red waters of the mighty Roanoke River create the western border of Bertie County. On one side of the river are high bluffs with beautiful farmland while on the others side are vast low grounds with hardwood forests teeming with wildlife. The waters are so strong, turbulent, and dangerous that Native Americans called it the Moratoc, or "River of Death".
The farmland created by its waters is some of the best peanut soil in the world.
Back when Papa Jack began cooking peanuts in his popcorn popper, he didn't realize that his recipes would become known worldwide. In acknowledgement of his cooking skills, we are introducing his recipe for his original redskin peanuts. It's a different flavor and texture from our other flavors, but we know you will enjoy the pure taste of these local favorites!

Write a reviewRoanoke River Redskins are a mess!
Apr 6, 2024 | By Tom Marsh
These peanuts make a mess, but like so many things, steamed crabs, BBQ ribs, smores to name a few, they are so worth it. I love the blister fried but I think these may be a little better!

Some of the best, most addictive peanuts ever eaten!!
Great Redskins
Oct 18, 2023 | By Cheryl Chevis
These are the best redskins we have ever eaten and now are the only ones we will buy. We like them much better than the smaller "Spanish" peanuts, which don't seem to be as favorable. Sometimes a good number of the skins have been shaken off by the time the nuts reach the Pacific Northwest, but the basic peanuts themselves are so delicious and fresh tasting that it doesn't matter. (We do, however, make an effort to remove some of the skins while placing them in a bowl for company. Small price to pay for the best nuts.).
Owner Response: Wow! Thanks for the kind words! How in the world did you find us?

The Bertie County peanuts are the best I have ever had. I grew up in Virginia and believed that our peanuts were the best, that is until I tried the Bertie County Redskin Peanuts. Nothing compares. Great Job.

Roanoke Redskins a little raw
Dec 8, 2022 | By Walter Bright
We have purchased the Roanoke Redskins several times and always enjoy them. This past time however, it seems as though the peanuts were not cooked as well and they have a raw taste. They just don't seem to be as good as they were in the past. Thanks!
Umm Umm good

Wow! These are amazing. This may sound weird to some but... My Mother loved redskins on vanilla ice cream. A taste treat that I have continued but I add just a wee bit of chocolate sauce. This combo may be a new food group :). Well anyway my wife also likes this combo. Just wish Mom was around to try these redskins on her vanilla ice cream. They are the best.

We found out about Bertie County Peanuts during an antique car tour. My wife loves the Roanoke River Redskins and I have purchased them for her. This last order was for her birthday! The shipping is quick and dependable -- and they were on sale!
Love'em

These jumbos are prepared just right, be careful, they could be addicting.

Roanoke River Redskins - Pretty Good111
Jul 21, 2021 | By Gene Bergstresser
Roanoke River Redskins are what I expected, They are just the correct amount of salt, the redskins are loose on some of the nuts, or come off easily, and the nuts are cooked/fried just right. These peanuts are very good for a quick snack and a little protein.
Excellent

I am so excited to find these peanuts! I am a big fan of redskin peanuts and these are much better than the national brand that I usually purchase.
Best redskin peanuts
Oct 19, 2020 | By Carrie Garneau
I have tried the Peanut Shop of Williamsburg and Feridies redskin peanuts and they are good, but Bertie County redskin peanuts are the best. They are more fresh and tastier in my opinion. Even though they are pricier than the other two places, I will not shop anywhere else for redskin peanuts. I also like the fact that they are in a plastic screw top container so that they reseal better for freshness (rather than a can with a pop-on cap) and the container is reusable for other things.

I was so excited to see that you now have redskins and couldn't wait to try them out. They are delicious, I'm a huge fan and will add these to my usual orders of blister fried! Well done!

Bertie County Roanoke Redskins are hands down the best peanuts I have ever tasted! I have purchased them on many occasions and have always been very satisfied. Actually everything I have purchased from Bertie County nuts have been delicious.

I have tried most of your peanut products and this is a good addition. I still prefer the blister fried above all else. Red-skin peanuts are suppose to be healthier too.

These treats are a tasty change to the menu of products. I really like the unique flavor. My only thought was, it would be interesting to have a product to try that is called "Roanoke River Peanuts" to compare. I find myself leaving a lot of the redskins in the jar.

I recently bought the standard blister fried, butterscotch, and red skins. All were really good but the red skins were exceptional and I've bought 2 more and going thru them fast. So good.
so deliciously different

What a difference from all the other nuts! Really tasty
Quite delicious
Sep 26, 2019 | By Jerry Hudgins
I bought a jar of these to try before sending some to a family member who likes redskin peanuts. I found myself unexpectedly impressed by how good they are. I like them at least as well as I do the blister-fried peanuts - and that's really saying something.
Best Redskins!

These are the best Redskin Peanuts! Cooked just right and just the right amount of salt.
