What are Crunchsters®?
Crunchsters® are super-snack mung beans with a hearty, salty, and perfect potato chip-like crunch. Mung beans may be new to some families, but the idea is simple: they’re little beans that become light, crisp, and delicious when prepared as a crunchy snack.
Each serving has 5–7 grams of plant-based protein, so they bring more than just crunch to the picnic table. They’re also allergy friendly and made in a separate dedicated allergy friendly facility free from the Top 9 allergens.
Crunchsters® are also naturally gluten-free, Non-GMO verified, vegan, and kosher, making them an easy choice for family moments where everyone deserves to feel included.
Pack them straight into your picnic basket
Crunchsters® are easy to enjoy right out of the bag, which makes them a simple picnic win. Add a few 1.3oz Snack Packs for lunch bags, park days, or individual servings. For sharing, pack a 4oz Sharing Size and place it in the middle of the picnic blanket for everyone to enjoy.
Try adding a mix of flavors so everyone can pick their favorite:
- Simply Sea Salt for a classic salty crunch
- Sweet Heat Barbeque for a bold, picnic-ready flavor
- Beyond Bacon® for a savory, smoky snack
- Tangy Balsamic for something bright and zesty
Sprinkle them over salads and picnic sides
Crunchsters® are more than a straight-from-the-bag snack. They’re also a fun topping for picnic dishes that could use extra texture.
Sprinkle them over:
- Garden salads
- Pasta salads
- Grain bowls
- Veggie plates
- Picnic side dishes
They add a salty crunch without making the meal feel heavy, and they’re especially helpful when you want something that feels more exciting than a basic topping.
Bring them to cookouts
Picnics and cookouts go hand in hand. Crunchsters® pair well with burgers, sandwiches, wraps, veggie plates, and summer sides. Set out a bowl of Crunchsters® near the main meal, or keep the bags nearby so everyone can add their own crunch.
They’re also a great option when you want something easy to serve, easy to pack, and easy for guests to enjoy without extra prep.
