Crunchies Food Company Receives
Business Achievement Award
(Santa Barbara, CA) Crunchies Food Company has been awarded
the Business Achievement Award for 2002 in the Product Merit
Category. The Product Merit Award, given by the Nutrition
Business Journal, recognizes businesses for outstanding achievement
in the nutrition industry.
The
Nutrition Business Journal, a prestigious publication in the
natural food industry, examined nearly one hundred firms nominated
for the award and chose only the firms that were truly worthy
of recognition. The Product Merit Awards are for companies
that have displayed innovation or initiative in launching
or revamping products.
Thousand
Oaks based Crunchies Food Company has demonstrated innovation
and initiative with its comprehensive line of freeze-dried
fruits and vegetables called Crunchies. Crunchies are all-natural,
high in fiber, contain no salt, added sugar, or preservatives,
and contain virtually no fat or calories. They come in nine
fruit, two vegetable, and three organic varieties. Some of
these include Roasted Mixed Veggies, Tropical Fruit, Edamame,
Mango and Strawberry.
Crunchies
Food Company freeze dries their Crunchies by placing individually
frozen fruits and vegetables in a refrigerated vacuum chamber
that draws out 97% of the moisture, which gives them their
crunchy texture. This process also allows fruits and vegetables
to retain their flavor and many beneficial nutrients, unlike
conventional heat drying methods. This makes fruit and vegetables
delightfully crunchy and fun to eat. Crunchies can be stored
for up to nine months using this freeze drying process, without
the addition of preservatives.
Crunchies
were developed with a strong culinary background and a commitment
to nutritious and delicious foods. “I wanted to create
a line of food that would not only taste good, but would be
good for people too. I wanted to use my knowledge as a chef
and the techniques I knew to make healthy food,” states
Brien Seay, accomplished chef and Founder of the Crunchies
Food Company.
Fruit
and Veggie Crunchies can be conveniently eaten as an all-around
snack or for toppings on salads, soups, cereal, baked potatoes,
omelets, and in a number of recipes. Crunchies are drawing
a large fan base among snack enthusiasts, weight conscious
consumers, kids, and parents.
