Product Snapshot: HIPPEAS Organic Chickpea Snacks, is spreading the Peas & Love with the expansion of its lifestyle brand and the launch of HIPPEAS Tortilla Chips. The 60s were all about getting tripped out, today we’re about getting chipped out. HIPPEAS Tortilla Chips are USDA Certified Organic, certified gluten-free, and vegan.

With 3g of protein and 3g of fiber per 1oz serving, these chickpea chips pack a punch of plant power, to keep you keepin’ on. HIPPEAS new Tortilla Chips will be available exclusively at Whole Foods Market stores nationwide starting December 18th.

HIPPEAS, known for its bright yellow bag and chickpea-based snacks, will introduce HIPPEAS Tortilla Chips in the following three far-out flavors, which can be enjoyed on their own or with your favorite dip (guacamole, meet your new best friend):

STRAIGHT UP SEA SALT: We tell it like it is. Straight up sea salt, with ingredients you can actually pronounce. Nothing hidden in here but good vibes.
ROCKIN’ RANCH: Let the good times roll with rockin’ ranch. A drum kick of flavor that’ll have your taste buds rockin’ all day long.
JALAPEÑO VEGAN CHEDDAR: A flare of happenin’ jalapeño to turn up the heat. The party only gets better with these cheddar “cheeze” feels.

“We are excited about the launch of HIPPEAS Tortilla Chips. They’re made with the nutritional profiles our consumers demand; organic, gluten-free, plant-based, and they taste great,” says Joe Serventi, HIPPEAS CEO. “This product expansion signifies the growth of HIPPEAS as a snacking platform and lifestyle brand that our fans know and love.
