A high percentage of consumers in the US aren't getting enough fruit, vegetables or fiber in their diet, which is something the Kencko Organic Fruit Snaps have been developed to help with. The snack product is characterized by its simplistic recipe that features four to five ingredients with no artificial flavors, colors or refined sugars in the mix. The vegan-friendly snack has 2.5 cups of fruit in each one-ounce packet with six to eight-grams of fiber to give it a nutritious profile.
The Kencko Organic Fruit Snaps come in Strawberry, Mango, Pineapple and Raspberry flavors, and have a crunchy texture that will mimic traditional snack products on the market. This will make them more palatable amongst consumers who aren't a fan of healthier snack varieties. The product is arriving both online and in-store at Walmart starting April 15.
