Now that we’ve got your ear, permit us to pop off for a bit about this superb snack of lightly salted, non-GMO toasted corn kernels. All about showcasing the regional food treasures of Willamette Valley, Oregon, Albina City Nuts operates under the motto that simple is better. That’s why they never bother with unnecessary ingredients (these guys are made with only corn, oil and salt), and make each batch by hand, so they can keep an eye on every step of the process. Basically, they’re snobs about cobs, and the result is nothing less than a-maize-ing.
Tip of the Tongue:
Not only do these make the best bar snack (even if the bar is your kitchen counter), they’re set as a crouton replacement. Try them scattered over a tumble of frisee, along with bacon and blue cheese!
