Corn-Flavored Chickepea Puffs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Hippeas Just Added New Mexican Street Corn Chickpea Puffs

— June 2, 2024 — Lifestyle
Everyone's favorite plant-based snack brand Hippeas has just launched new Churro and Mexican Street Corn Chickpea Puffs.

According to the brand, plant-based snack demand surged by over 20% in the U.S. last year, which means consumers have never been more interested in better-for-you snack options. To ride this wave, Hippeas has unveiled two new limited-time flavors of its signature Chickpea Puffs. The new Mexican Street Corn Chickpea Puffs are inspired by the taste of the classic Mexican street food and boast lots of lime, cilantro, and cheese. On the other hand, the new Churro Chickpea Puffs are on the sweet side with a crave-able cinnamon sugar seasoning. As always, both of Hippeas' new Chickpea Puff products are made plant-based, gluten-free, and made from non-GMO ingredients.
