Kazoo Snacks' Restaurant Style Tortilla Chips are made with corn germ, a by-product of chip processing that often goes to waste or sometimes gets used as animal feed. In an 11-ounce bag of the plant-based tortilla chips, there are three grams of protein and Kazoo Snacks emphasizes this by pointing out that this is 50% more protein than the leading tortilla chip. Additionally, the brand also points out that one snack bag of tortilla chips saves 30 gallons.
The vegan and gluten-free tortilla chips are just one example of the many new snacks that are being created with a focus on upcycled ingredients and processes that help to conserve resources. With its patent-pending tortilla chip, Kazoo Snacks shares a fusion of snacking, nutrition and sustainability.
