These new Stellar Pretzel Thins have been announced by the women-owned company as a series of vegan, non-GMO snacks perfect for consumers seeking out a functional option for their diet. The snack comes as the brand's first grain-free pretzel crafted with superfood ingredients in the mix to make it both satisfying and nutritionally beneficial.
The snack is crafted with a blend of cassava and chickpea flour, hemp and pea protein and mushroom, and are freshly baked with avocado oil. These ingredients combine to achieve a high-quality taste and texture that's an excellent source of fiber, vitamin D and omega 3, according to the brand.
Founder Elisabeth Galvin commented on the Stellar Pretzel Thins saying, "After years of meticulous development, we’re thrilled to introduce Stellar Pretzel Thins—our gluten-free, superfood-packed snack that redefines what a pretzel can be. We didn’t rush a single step because our mission was clear: create a gluten-free option that doesn’t just compete with, but outshines, competitors’ wheat-based snacks. Earning American Heart Association approval as a heart-healthy snack is the realization of our long-held dream, and we’re proud to set a new standard with a product that nourishes as much as it delights."
