Everything about Corn Nuts totally explained

History
Albert Holloway invented corn nuts in 1936. He originally sold them to taverns as a beer snack, calling them Brown Jug Toasted Corn.
Preparation
Corn nuts are prepared by soaking whole corn in
water for three days, then
deep-frying them in oil until they're hard and brittle.
CornNuts
Halloway later renamed his product CornNuts. He also learned of a giant breed of corn grown in
Cusco, Peru, and began to make his product using this variety's giant kernels. His research eventually led to a hybrid Cusco corn which could be grown in the climate conditions of the United States.
Today, CornNuts is part of
Planters, a subsidiary of
Kraft Foods. It is sold in six flavors: Original, Barbecue, Nacho Cheese, Chile Picante, Salsa Jalisco and Ranch.
