At Natural Products Expo East, Cleveland Kitchen debuted single-serve gut-friendly snacking pickles that are lightly pickled and packaged by the pouch. The Pickle Chips are said to be fresh and crunchy, as well as free from fat, gluten and GMOs. The vegan-friendly snacks are being introduced in flavors like Dilly Garlic and Hot Picks, and they are reminiscent of popular potato chip flavors.
These pickle snacks speak to consumers who are in search of potent flavors that are bigger, bolder, brighter and sour. These snacks promise to make it easier for the average American to consume fermented foods more regularly, as European and Asian cultures do so well. These snacking pickles join the brand's lineup of kraut, kimchi and dressings, all of which are packed with flavor and goodness for the gut.
