WHY WE’RE DIFFERENT
We are certified vegan, gluten free, kosher, non GMO,
and organic
Our dehydrating process is above the standard
currently being used in the industry
We are the only kale chip to receive national
coverage. Hoda Kotb, from The Today Show, said:
“They have changed my life…I have more
energy…everything is working better.”
We source local ingredients from local farms and
support our community
Brad’s Raw Crunchy Kale starts out with the most nutritionally dense leafy green vegetable
available…fresh, leafy kale! We then batter it up with flavorful, natural ingredients including raw
cashews, sunflower seeds, & spices to give the kale that extra punch of flavor.
The product is then dehydrated below 115 degrees (retaining active enzymes) to transform it
into a light, crunchy and delectable snack food that rivals any popular unhealthy snack.
• Five fun flavors: Naked, Nasty Hot, Pina
Kale-ada, Nacho, Vampire Killer, & Smokey
Chipotle
• Available in 2.5, 1.0, and 0.5 oz.
containers
Brad’s Raw Chips & Crackers start out with a base of healthy vegetables and seeds,
such as carrots, kale, red bell pepper, buckwheat groats & flax. Then, all of the
ingredients are ground together, laid flat and cut. The shape and texture of the chips
& crackers make them perfect for dipping!
The product is then dehydrated below 115 degrees (retaining active enzymes) to
transform it into a light, crunchy and delectable snack food that rivals any popular,
unhealthy snack.
