Pipcorn's new Heirloom Crunchies offer a better-for-you take on a nostalgic childhood snack and share 20% less fat than leading category favorites. The snacks are made with sustainable heirloom corn and organic cheese and are baked rather than fried. As Pipcorn co-founder Jeff Martin says, "The beginning of a new decade uncharacteristically brought about a need for nostalgia."
Consumers will also find the exclusive varieties like Truffle Parmesan & Jalapeno Cheddar only at Whole Foods Market and Cheddar on Thrive Market, which helps to support the brand's commitment to sustainable agriculture. All of the new snacks are Non-GMO Project Verified and Whole Grain and set themselves apart from other cheesy snacks as they are made without artificial additives.
