NEW YORK — Pear peels and leftover pickle pieces find new life in a pair of snacks created through partnerships between emerging brands.
Specialty snack brand Sweet Nothings is expanding its line of nut butter bites in collaboration with RIND Snacks, a maker of skin-on dried fruit snacks. The limited-time co-branded offering features organic ingredients, including dates, peanut butter, oats and flax, plus dried strawberries and pears, and represents the brands’ shared values “around functional nutrition and sustainable snacking,” said Matt Weiss, founder and chief executive officer of RIND Snacks, which tackles food waste by eliminating edible peels from landfill.
