Where does the name Hubs come from?

H J Hubbard, Dot's husband was often called Hub, so she decided to name her brand after him and called them Hub's peanuts. Because so many people dropped the apostrophe, they decided to make it easier and leave it out. Now people ask, "What is a Hub?"

Why do Hubs have tiny blister-like bubbles on them?

Dot Hubbard commercially pioneered a process that involves dipping peanuts in hot water. When the timing and the temperature are just right, tiny bubbles will appear after the peanuts are dropped in oil. Some people called this method 'blister frying'.

How are super extra-large Virginia peanuts different from others?

Compared to the other three varieties, Virginia peanuts are noted for size and superior flavor. Many years ago, Dot Hubbard began asking the local shellers from whom she purchased her supply to cull and reserve the big peanuts that wouldn't fit in the planting equipment. It wasn't long before the demand outgrew the supply and the shellers developed an unofficial "super" classification to distinguish for size and price. Only about 2% of each harvest qualifies as a super extra-large grade.

If I am on Hubs' mailing list will my name be sold or rented to another company?

What about the people on my gift list? Does Hubs send them pricing information?

No. They are old-fashioned enough to believe that you don't want your gift recipient to see what you paid for the gift, even after the fact. Your list is private and they don't send their literature until after someone has requested it or made a purchase.

Why don't Hubs sell tree nuts such as almonds and cashews?

One day if they expand their operations they might, but today, they have a small physical footprint and they do not wish to risk cross contamination of allergens.

Do you sell your product at a discounted price to organizations needing to raise money or funds?

Can I purchase Hubs' peanuts anywhere other than through company?

Yes, but give them a call. There are gourmet stores and gift shops scattered throughout the USA that sell Hubs and they would like to help you find a local source of supply.
