Scottie Pippen and business partner chef R.C. Mills are launching a new venture called Husk vegan popcorn that's organic, gluten-free and available in fun flavors. The plant-based snacks are launching soon in a variety of flavors that set themselves apart from the usual varieties found in the popcorn aisle. Those who appreciate colorful snacks will enjoy the multi-colored popped kernels in the Spirulina and Dragon Fruit Popcorn, and the Matcha and Coconut Water Popcorn provide a special treat for beverage lovers.
There are other sweet, spicy and savory flavors to suit all taste preferences, making it easier for people of all ages to indulge in a better-for-you version of a classic movie treat. As Mills describes, "We enjoy salty/sweet snacks, but we wanted to create something in a totally different dynamic that will be [a] salty snack, but have some superfood ingredients."
