Nutritious snack company Eat the Change has unveiled its “first-to-market” vegetable snack for kids, made from organic carrots and fruit juice.
The snack range, named Cosmic Carrot Chews, is available in three varieties: Sour Cherry Berry Blast Off, Orange Mango Moonbeam and Apple Cinnamon Asteroid.
The chews are made from four ingredients – with the primary elements consisting of organic carrots and fruit juice. The snacks are nutrient-dense, high in fibre, contain 60 calories and are a source of Vitamin A. They are also certified vegan, organic and kosher.
Spike Mendelsohn, Eat the Change chef, commented: “The carrot chews are a result of being creative in the kitchen with innovation to avoid waste. I was doing R&D for a carrot chip product and was sent the wrong type of carrots. Instead of letting the food go to waste, I marinated and dehydrated them anyway which yielded a chewy texture versus a chip. When I brought the carrot chews home for my son to taste, he loved them. That’s when I knew we were onto something great.”
Cosmic Carrot Chews have an SRP of $4.49 per package and the product is available across the US in stores such as Whole Foods Mid-Atlantic, MOM’s Organic Market, Erewhon, Hy-Vee and online on the brand’s website.
