Well the peanut industry is proud of some leading products that have made them number one and not only here but all around the world.
Peanut M&M’s and Peanut Snickers. The peanuts are a trifecta according to the M&M folks. One, it’s a nutritional powerhouse.
Peanuts offer a great source of plant-based protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Number two, the ultimate convenience. They are a simple, portable, and a satisfied snack.
Affordable nutrition. Peanuts provide excellent nutrition value for the cost. That is one item pointed out by the folks from Mars and Mars Wrigley.
Taste and versatility. With a satisfying flavor, peanuts and peanut butter can be used in a wide variety of snacks and they say they plan to expand their portfolio in the very near future. Sustainability.
There’s a growing demand for snacks from brands with sustainable and ethical sourcing practices. They pointed that out at the USA Peanut Congress this week. And secondly, convenience.
A busy lifestyle demands portable, easy to eat snacks for the on-the-go consumer and peanuts, M&M’s, and Snickers fit the bill.
