At the upcoming 2024 Natural Products Expo West event, Bubbies Fine Foods will be debuting the world's first fermented pickle chip in two varieties. The brand's Original and Spicy varieties were created in response to customer research and the brand finding that people were cutting Bubbies’ whole Kosher Dill Pickles into chips for everything from hamburgers and pasta salads to grilled cheese sandwiches. "While the shelf-stable ‘pickle’ section is full of chips and spears, there were no options for a real fermented, refrigerated pickle chip," said Chris Glab, Bubbies’ Chief Innovation Officer.
Based on a 140-year-old family recipe, Bubbies makes nutrient-packed fermented foods that are rich in prebiotics, probiotics, fiber and easily digestible free amino acids. Bubbies new Kosher Dill Pickle Chips are certified kosher, gluten-free, non-GMO and are free from added sugar and artificial preservatives.
