Santé Nuts Innovates to Offer ‘Sweet’ Alternative for Consumers Looking to Reduce Sugar Intake
Heading into a typically indulgent holiday season, Santé Nuts offers a variety of better-for-you snacks to meet consumer demand for lower sugar, plant-based foods without sacrificing flavor, quality or satisfaction. The company’s proprietary roasting process makes their nuts uniquely crunchy without adding layers of sugar. Santé Candied Pecans, the company’s flagship product, contains only 4 grams of cane sugar, 50 percent less than leading competitors, with double the plant-based protein per serving. Other holiday favorites include: Bourbon Pecans, Sweet & Spicy Pecans and Pumpkin Spice Pecans.
“You could say nuts are having a moment,” shares Kyle Donovan, VP of Sales and Marketing at Santé Nuts. “Consumers are reaching for more plant-based foods, watching their sugar intake and spending more time at home, fueling a need for comforting yet nutritious snacks.”
The International Food Information Council’s 2021 Food & Health Survey revealed three-quarters of consumers (72 percent) are trying to limit or avoid sugars in their diet this year. And 25 percent say that the Total Sugars information on the Carbohydrates portion of Nutrition Facts labels has the biggest influence on their purchases. (IRIC).
Demand for plant-based foods is skyrocketing as consumers seek healthier, higher-quality options that can also serve as a specialty ingredient to elevate dishes. (Pecan South Magazine).
