Veggiecraft Farms, which makes a variety of pasta products with cauliflower, is now introducing a new line of plant-based puffs that are also made with the cruciferous vegetable. The cauliflower puffs are made with all real cauliflower and come in flavors like Honey BBQ and Black Pepper & Sea Salt.
Rather than seeking out the comfort of familiar snacks like potato chips, many consumers are turning to light snacks that are puffed and popped to satisfy their snack cravings. At the same time, cauliflower-based foods and snacks are continuing to capture the interests of people who are looking for better-for-you versions of familiar products with a healthier, veggie-infused twist.
These new snacks from Veggiecraft Farms were unveiled at this year's National Association of Convenience Stores trade show.
