Mushroom Crisps by Rhythm Superfoods are made with brown and white button mushrooms that are prepared at a low temperature to achieve just the right level of crispiness. The gluten-free and vegan snack can be found in varieties like Sea Salt and Fire Roasted, and they share an alternative to conventional chips and crisps, especially the popular potato-based varieties. These alternative crisps are full of unique flavors and the better-for-you, plant-based snack is not only satisfying but also rich in vitamins. The snackable, shareable Sea Salt Mushroom Crisps are simply seasoned, while the Fire Roasted variety plays with a combination of red bell pepper powder, tomato, vinegar, onion and garlic powders.
Rhythm Superfoods showcased its Mushroom Chips at the 2022 Winter Fancy Food Show, tapping into the demand for savory, umami flavor and the many health, immunity and adaptogenic benefits of mushrooms.
