Shrooms launches mushroom snacks
South Mill Champs, a mushroom producer in North America, is diving into the world of snacks by introducing consumers to Shrooms Snacks.
The product, created with mushrooms that are grown and handpicked on the South Mill farm in Kennett Square, Pa., looks to provide consumers with an alternative to their favorite snack.
"We saw an opportunity to create something new and authentic using our 80 years of mushroom growing experience," David Eberwein, the director of innovation & business development at Shrooms Snacks, said. "As the popularity of plant-based snacking continues to rise, we started thinking about ways to reinvent the mushroom to create convenient, better-for-you snacks that taste amazing and use the fresh, whole mushrooms we're growing and farming every day. After much development, we've created a line of snack products that are unlike anything else on shelves today, and we're excited to bring them to mushroom lovers everywhere."
Shrooms latest launches include:
"Mushrooms are experiencing a surge in popularity as people from all walks of life get smart about snacking," Lewis Macleod, the CEO of South Mill Champs said. "With more than 80 years of experience, we know mushrooms, so we're a natural fit to lead the development of this category of great tasting, better-for-you snacks. We really believe in this brand and product, and want to revolutionize how people think about mushrooms."
The snacks can currently be found for purchase on Amazon, and information on local retailers can be found on the company’s store locator on its website.
