Popped Nutrient-Dense Snacks

The KaPop! Snacks are Crafted with Ancient Grains and Premium Flavor

Chips and popcorn are notoriously popular snacks but are often characterized by their high level of unwanted fat, so the KaPop! Snacks have been developed as an alternative for health-conscious consumers to pick up.

Developed by Dustin Finkel, the snacks are made with the ancient grain sorghum that has been popped in the same manner as popcorn to deliver a satisfying crunch that's packed with nutrients. This includes fiber, protein, potassium omega 3s and more, while also featuring a free-from profile that doesn't contains the top 12 allergens.

The KaPop! Snacks have a flavorful profile that comes in a number of familiar options including Salt & Vinegar, Rosemary Garlic, Dairy-Free Cheddar, Olive Oil & Sea Salt and Red & Green Sriracha varieties.
