The 'Grillo’s Pickles x Hippeas Dill Pickle Puffs' combine tangy pickle flavor with a light, crispy texture. This collaboration between Grillo’s Pickles, known for its fresh, briny spears, and Hippeas, a brand specializing in chickpea-based snacks, introduces a new savory option to the market as pickle-centric snacks and beverage continue to gain popularity.
Formulated with "chickpea flour, rice flour, and yellow pea flour, these puffs are seasoned with white vinegar powder, dehydrated dill, and garlic powder to create a balance of tart and savory flavors." They are also "gluten-free, vegan, and contain 3-4 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber per serving," making them a plant-based snack alternative.
These new snacks are now available at Sprouts and Hippeas’s online store and will be available at Stop & Shop, Amazon and Wakefern soon.
