In collaboration with chef Chef Giada De Laurentiis, Simply7 launched a Margherita pizza-flavored popcorn with fresh, high-quality ingredients like tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and Italian herbs. The Simply7 with Giada Popcorn is naturally gluten-free, Kosher and free from major allergens for a clean snacking choice.
Simply7 also introduced a few other Giada Popcorn flavors, including Sicilian Sea Salt & Olive Oil, Parmesan Cheese and Butter, all made with non-GMO blue and/or red popcorn. When it came to creating bold yet healthy flavors for consumers, Simply7 identified pizza flavors as "a whitespace in the popcorn category."
As many health-conscious consumers are seeking out better-for-you snacks, ready-to-eat popcorn is emerging as a light, convenient and tasty choice for both on-the-go and in-home snacking.
