Westlake Village, CA — Crunchies Natural Food Company has announced that its non-GMO, freeze-dried fruit and vegetable snacks will be available at all Sprouts locations this January. In addition to Crunchies’ signature Strawberries and Mango, the company’s newest item, Freeze-Dried Beets, will hit shelves just in time for New Year’s resolutions, providing customers with an easy way to maintain their health goals while enjoying a delicious, high-quality snack.
“Sprouts and Crunchies share the same objective – to provide health-conscious shoppers with a snack option that’s hands-down the best in terms of ingredients, nutrition, taste and convenience,” says Scott Jacobson, president and CEO of Crunchies Natural Food Company. “We are excited to help Sprouts give customers what they want: wholesome products from a company they can trust.”
Unlike traditional heat drying, the freeze-drying method used by Crunchies ensures that fresh produce retains most of its nutritional value while enhancing shelf life—and creating that satisfying crunch. Crunchies is also the only U.S. consumer freeze-dry brand that is vertically integrated from farm to fork.
With three servings of real fruit or veggies per package, Crunchies freeze-dried products provide a much-needed respite from junk foods and other processed snacks. They contain no added sugar, no artificial flavors or coloring and are non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan, kosher and halal-certified.
Crunchies products are rolling out to Sprouts stores nationwide for an SRP of $4.49 for each 1-ounce, resealable pouch. For more information and to purchase via the company’s website, please visit CrunchiesFood.com.
