CORN NUTS: the American snack that crunches like no other since 1935!

If you're after America's crunchiest snack, you've found it. CORN NUTS are whole corn kernels roasted to an ultra-crispy, dense, intensely savory texture. Nothing like chips, popcorn or crackers — they're a category all their own. Since 1935, CORN NUTS have been delighting fans of intense snacking in the US. My American Market brings them to you straight from the source!

Did you know CORN NUTS have been around since 1935?

CORN NUTS are one of the oldest savory snacks in the US — a brand that's gone through 9 decades without changing its core concept. The principle is simple: whole corn kernels, soaked in water to hydrate them, then fried or roasted to that incomparable texture — dense, ultra-crunchy, with a far longer hold in the mouth than a chip. Since 2021, CORN NUTS has belonged to Hormel Foods (the same family as SPAM and Planters).

The CORN NUTS slogan sums up the product perfectly: "If you're going to eat corn, don't pop it, don't grill it — CRUNCH it!" Corn as a snack in its most intense and satisfying form!

The CORN NUTS flavors

The classic range includes Original (plain, pure roasted-corn taste), Ranch (the iconic American flavor), BBQ (smoky and sweet), Chile Picante (spicy with a touch of lime), Nacho Cheese, Loaded Taco and Mexican Street Corn. At My American Market, you'll find the most popular flavors — Original and Ranch to start, with more flavors available depending on shipments!

When and how to eat CORN NUTS?

CORN NUTS are perfect any time — apéritif, office snack, road trip, movie night. Their dense, crunchy texture fills you up much faster than a chip. They pair perfectly with a soda or a mocktail. And unlike chips, they don't get crushed at the bottom of the bag! Perfect for American BBQ evenings next to an ice-cold Mug Root Beer.

Frequently asked questions about CORN NUTS

Is it different from popcorn?

Completely different! Popcorn is corn that bursts under heat — airy and light. CORN NUTS are whole roasted corn kernels — dense, ultra-crunchy, far more filling. The texture is unique and unmatched!
