BROOKLYN, N.Y., Sept. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Pipcorn, the minority-owned, better-for-you heirloom corn snacking brand, has expanded its product line to include yet another reinvented childhood favorite: Heirloom Crunchies. Baked – not fried – these crunchy, twisty and cheesy treats have 20% less fat than leading category favorites, and are available in Cheddar, Cheddar Jalapeno, and Parmesan Truffle.
Pipcorn Heirloom Crunchies will be launching in retailers that mirror Pipcorn's commitment to sustainable agriculture with Truffle Parmesan & Jalapeno Cheddar available exclusively at Whole Foods Market, and Cheddar on Thrive Market. Additionally, all Crunchies are made with sustainable heirloom corn and organic cheese, as well as are Non-GMO Project Verified and Whole Grain, retailing for $3.99.
"The beginning of a new decade uncharacteristically brought about a need for nostalgia," said Jeff Martin, Pipcorn Co-Founder. "We've wanted to release a line like this since we launched our cult-favorite Cheese Balls. It reminds us of the memories we had eating cheesy snacks, but had stopped eating due to their artificial additives and substandard ingredients. We are excited to bring back the memory with a better-for-you twist."
This year has marked extreme growth for the brand. This is the second innovation this year for the Pipcorn team, after launching Heirloom Crackers a few months ago. The brand also expanded into the Canadian Market in July and announced Pipcorn Grants, a program to support Black and Minority founded brands through mentorship, working sessions, introductions and a small monetary grant.
All of Pipcorn's products are Non-GMO Project verified and available in a variety of savory and sweet flavors. Pipcorn uses heirloom corn to help preserve the agricultural biodiversity that might otherwise be lost, and with each harvest, Pipcorn saves the seeds to plant the next time around. The heirloom corn is grown by family farmers in the exact way heirloom popcorn has been grown for generations.
