Fun-Gal Snacks founders Marilyn Yang and Michael Casali are passionate about health but were disappointed in the healthier-for-you chip options like seaweed and kale. For them, a healthy alternative to potatoes and corn packed with nutrition, flavorful, and satisfying would come from a somewhat unlikely source—mushrooms.
Fried Shitake caps are the base of new snack Popadelics, launching in three flavors: Rad Rosemary and Salt, Trippin’ Truffle Parm, and Twisted Thai Chili. The mushrooms are vacuum-fried, using less oil and retaining more nutrients than deep-frying. Popadelics snacks are also vegan contains 8g of protein and 16g of fiber in every bag.
