Hot Products GOURMET NEWS MARCH 2020 www.gourmetnews.com HOT PRODUCTS 1 7 New Snacks from Bubba's Fine Foods Paleo snack brand Bubba's Fine Foods is launching three new snack products this month at Natural Products Expo West. Each snack is crafted from real food ingredients: protein- packed cashews and almonds, sweet coconut, and the green Saba bananas that are the secret to Bubba's potato-free 'Nana Chips. The new flavors include Montreal Chophouse, a surprising blend of savory kettle-cooked banana chips and premium nuts that's bursting with flavor. This crispy, crunchy blend is inspired by the succulent flavor of a perfectly seasoned steak rub, minus the meat. Classic Sea Salt is the second new flavor, made with crunchy kettle-cooked bananas, coconut oil, sea salt and organic apple cider vinegar. Bubba's new Grand Garlic Parm Single Serve offers vegans a cheesy fix and potato chip crunch along with the prebiotic benefits of green bananas in a convenient to-go single serve pouch.
