RW Garcia launched a new line of organic superfood crackers as a means of inspiring better-for-you snacking without sacrificing a great taste and texture. The protein-packed, vegan and organic crackers set themselves apart from other healthy crackers on the market by featuring a base of legumes.
The Organic Lentil with Turmeric and Organic Chickpea products combine a base of legumes with stone-ground white corn and three powerful seeds—chia, flaxseed and sesame—for a super satisfying gluten-free snack. These non-GMO snacks are free from cholesterol and trans fats, joining other health-focused snack crackers previously introduced by the brand in flavors like Kale, Sweet Potato and Sweet Beet.
Versatile and nutritious, legumes are a great source of fiber, folate, potassium and iron, which is why many health-conscious consumers are now looking to enrich their diets with everything from lentil-based pastas to sweet chickpea snacks.
