With people showing a preference for on-the-go snacks over larger meals, Wholly Veggie decided to create an easier way for consumers to eat more vegetables with wholesome, bite-sized snacks. Wholly Veggie already produces a range of cauliflower crust pizzas and it is expanding its offerings with Buffalo Cauliflower Wings, Ranch Cauliflower Wings and the Kung Pao Broccoli Wings. As Wholly Veggie co-founder Johnathan Bonnell describes, "With our new Cauliflower and Broccoli wings, we feel we have a frozen snack that anyone can eat, whether it’s after school for kids or that perfect Sunday evening on the couch with Netflix."
The new Cauliflower Wings and Broccoli Wings are made only with plant-based ingredients, offering a simple and nourishing way for people to snack.
