Henrietta Said
Henrietta Said is the audacious peanut brand that owns its spice. Launched in 2023 by Truly Good Foods (a women‑owned company with roots back to 1977), this line delivers jumbo Virginia roasted peanuts in bold flavours like Nashville Hot Chicken with Pickle, Ancho Kimchi, Lemon Pepper, and Original Buffalo. Vegan, wholesome, and unapologetically flavourful, these snacks pack 7g of protein, 2g fibre, 0g sugar, and absolutely no artificial ingredients. For those craving heat, crunch, and snack options that align with keto or plant‑based lifestyles, Henrietta Said brings sass with substance. Because peanut lovers deserve better than bland.
Behind every crunch of Henrietta Said lies decades of snacking wisdom, Southern flair, and a hunger for flavour. Founded as a brand extension of Truly Good Foods in Charlotte, North Carolina (est. 1977 by Gerald and Betty York), Henrietta Said is run today by second‑generation leaders including Angela Bauer and Carolyn Bennett. Their mission? Take something familiar (peanuts), treat it like the star it is, and dress it in bold, global wing‑inspired spice blends.
All the nuts are Super XL Virginia peanuts, roasted just right. The flavours are wild, reminiscent of wing sauces but vegan‑friendly: Nashville Hot Chicken with Pickle, Ancho Kimchi (which won a Most Innovative New Product award), Lemon Pepper, and Original Buffalo. Despite the wing references, every variety is 100% vegan and gluten‑free, with 0g added sugar. Per serving, you get about 7g protein and 2g fibre. For those on keto, plant‑based, or just snack enjoyers, that’s no small thing.
Henrietta Said is built on three pillars: flavour that punches, ingredient integrity, and inclusive snacking. They avoid artificial colours and focus on spices and seasoning blends that offer heat, tang, or smoke without artificial “burn.” Their aesthetics are cheeky and bold—crazy good seasoning that sticks to your fingers, vibrant packaging, and a distinct voice.
If you think peanuts are just filler, think again. With Henrietta Said, you've got a snack that delivers on crunch, protein, taste, and attitude. Whether you’re winding down, powering through podcasts, or hunting something spicy, this brand reminds you: flavour should always make a statement.
