Popadelics are super crunchy mushrooms snacks that are made with shiitake mushrooms and great-tasting seasonings. The better-for-you, vegan mushroom snacks tap into a "unique cooking method called vacuum frying, which allows foods to cook at much lower temperatures while absorbing less oil and retaining more of their color, nutrients, texture, and flavor." Additionally, the poppable mushroom chips are a great source of protein and fiber.
Popadelic will soon be available for pre-order via Indiegogo in three bold flavors: Trippin' Truffle Parm, Twisted Thai Chili, and Rad Rosemary and Salt. Although the branding for the mushroom chips is bright and psychedelic, Popadelics do not contain any psilocybin or any other psychedelics or narcotics. Purchases help to support Fun-Gal Snacks Foundation and causes focused on health and wellness.
