Quinn created the world's first gluten-free and plant-based filled pretzel nugget, making it easier for gluten-sensitive and vegan consumers to enjoy a classic snack. These free-from pretzel snacks feature a savory cheese-like filling and a crunchy outer shell and they speak to consumers who are looking for treats that are free from corn, soy, dairy and more.
These nutritious pretzel bites are made with a blend of lentil flour and other root vegetables and the ancient grain sorghum. The unique free-from snack is naturally gluten-free thanks to the use of this resilient and beneficial grain, which also happens to be extremely tolerant of environmental stresses and useful for recovering groundwater thanks to the unique powers of its root system.
