[Love Corn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-corn-x-minions) makes crunchy, gluten-free and vegan corn snacks that are made with clean and simple ingredients. The crunchy corn snacks are offered in flavors like Sea Salt, Smoked BBQ and Habanero Chilli, each of which is a good source of fiber and low in both sugar and calories. These satisfying savory grab-and-go snacks are easy to enjoy straight out of the bag or as toppers to add flavor and texture to salads and soups. At a time when many ingredient-conscious consumers are looking for snacks that are plant-based, free-from and zero-sugar, Love Corn is setting itself apart as the first Premium [Crunchy Corn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swifts-stellar-bites) brand.

Love Corn is one of the emerging brands that will be joining [PepsiCo’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snack-a-jacks-minis) second annual North America Greenhouse program and will receive funding and mentorship to support accelerated growth.
