Caulipower, a Los Angeles-based brand specializing in plant-based products, has expanded into six new food categories, creating all-new products including baked chicken tenders, low-calorie pasta, and stone-fired cauliflower.
The expansion will see the brand release a handful of products this summer, including Cauliflower penne pasta, elbows pasta, and white pizza with spinach. The new offerings belong to the brand's broader diversification strategy, offering shoppers more cauliflower-based options alongside its main product -- cauliflower pizza.
"I am incredibly proud of the achievements of the team and how we doubled down on innovation during the pandemic, as recognized by Fast Company," said Gail Becker, Caulipower founder. "We came out of the pandemic with strong growth, in more categories, deeper household penetration, record brand awareness and an even broader consumer base."
