RIND Snacks recently expanded its lineup of skin-on superfood snacks with the debut of a new Coco-Melon flavor.
RIND Snacks is a company known for making fruit-based snacks that keep the skin or rinds on. Based on the popularity of its current product lineup, RIND Snacks has added a new Coco-Melon flavor to the mix. This new offering features a three-ingredient blend of organic coconut, watermelon, and cantaloupe pieces—all with the rinds on. The new mix signifies RIND’s first attempt at applying its peel-powered formula to melons, which are an ingredient often overlooked by other snack brands. As RIND Founder Matt Weiss explains, "When I first began trying to solve that problem, I dried so much melon that my dehydrator blew out the power in my apartment building. My neighbors will be thrilled to know that, in the years since, we’ve been able to partner with world-class growers and processors to pioneer the R&D behind Coco-Melon."
