Natural & Innovative Revolutionizing Food Industry Consumers are becoming more aware of what goes into their food. They are looking for products that not only fit into their lifestyles, but also tell a story. It is as essen- tial to them as transparency and the list of in- gredients. They are in line with a changing food system that looks at food as a whole, from the ingredients to the people producing them, and the impact our food choices have to the environment and ourselves. But they are not alone. Smaller food brands have emerged to meet this demand for better food choices and together are shap- ing the food industry. These brands are stay- ing ahead of the curve with product innova- tion at its core. When it comes to food, smaller brands are more trusting and relat- able to this new generation of consumers. Element is ahead of the game with a rein- vented snack – a rice or corn cake coated in different flavors. It sources high quality in- gredients from small local farms in Italy and uses traditional recipes to create a natural and flavorful snack. The different flavors fit different taste pro- files, from Dark Chocolate to Sweet Vanilla Orange. There is something for every- one, and the most re- cent flavor is a fresh and unique addition to the family. Sweet Mint is a corn cake made with non- GMO, organic Italian corn and a rich coating of fresh mint. What makes it so special is the addition of chia seeds to the corn cake and a one of a kind mint flavor. It's the first of its kind in the rice cake category and not to be missed.
