The Brewer’s Crackers Baked Pita Chips have been unveiled by the brand as its latest product that will provide consumers with a beneficial way to satisfy cravings for crunchy snacks. The snack is made using upcycled spent grain that transforms the ingredient from waste into a rich, satisfying chip in two flavors including Rosemary and Sea Salt. The snack is a good source of whole grains and could be more satisfying than conventional potato chips.
Founder Kyle Fiasconaro spoke on the new Brewer’s Crackers Baked Pita Chips saying, "Chips don’t need to be junk food and empty calories. I think Brewer’s has a unique opportunity and obligation to share upcycled grain with the world in hopes of helping people gain more nutritional and environmental value from their food dollar. Malted grains are a not-so-secret ingredient that have been utilised in the baking industry for generations, so why not chips? It seems like an amazing way to educate and snack at the same time.”
