Veggie Patch expands product line

BOSTON — Veggie Patch, a vegetable-based foods brand, on Monday announced new additions to its roster that will help consumers satisfy cravings for healthier food options, the company said. Health-conscious shoppers will be able to choose from Roasted Red Pepper Falafel and Moroccan Red Lentil Cakes.

Roasted Red Pepper Falafel puts a new spin on one of the company's top sellers, cassic falafel. Moroccan Red Lentil Cakes contain a blend of red lentils, carrots and spices that packs 8 g of protein per serving. Both varieties have a suggested retail price of $4.49 and will be rolling out this month in the produce sections of grocery stores across the nation.

"These mouth-watering new products are as flavorful as they are exotic, and as healthy as they are convenient," said Adam Carr, CEO Veggie Patch. "We're proud to lead the way in introducing unique and great tasting items that excite and appeal to our consumers."
