Mystic Harvest Broadens its Purple Corn Appeal

Innovative snack line to show off newest offerings at Natural Products Expo East
 
Sept. 10, 2012 - PRLog -- SOUTH BELOIT, IL – Mystic Harvest continues its quest to revolutionize the snack food aisle. The brand made its debut at Natural Products Expo West earlier this year, unveiling the first national brand of tortilla chips made with antioxidant-rich purple corn. Now, at the upcoming Natural Products Expo East show, Mystic Harvest will show off the tortilla chips’ new 1.5 oz. single serve size. This smaller size has become increasingly important to the growing number of health-conscious consumers who eat their snacks on the run.

Consumers appreciate the benefits behind Mystic Harvest Authentic Tortilla Chips with Sea Salt and Multi-Grain Tortilla Chips (http://www.mysticharvest.com). It’s thanks to their central ingredient, Suntava Purple Corn (http://www.suntavapurplecorn.com), that Mystic Harvest Purple Corn Tortilla Chips pack a 25 percent more powerful antioxidant punch than a serving of blueberries based on their ORAC score. Anthocyanins, the naturally occurring pigments responsible for the corn’s rich purple color, are powerful antioxidants. Mystic Harvest Authentic Tortilla Chips with Sea Salt also are gluten-free, a growing trend in the industry.

Retailers interested in carrying Mystic Harvest will want to stop by booth #750 and taste the power of purple corn for themselves. While they’re there, they’ll also want to check out the newest snack concepts in the works for an upcoming Mystic Harvest line expansion.

“We created the Mystic Harvest brand upon a foundation of stringent values that ensure all products in the line deliver better-for-you nutritional benefits to consumers,” said Jerry Stokely, president of Mystic Harvest parent company Axium Foods.

Suntava Purple Corn is a certified non-GMO hybrid grown to deliver consistent color, texture, distinctive taste and quality. It’s backed by more than a decade of scientific research, and delivers one of Mother Nature’s deepest, most vibrant purple hues and the highest level of nutritional properties.

Retailers interested in carrying Mystic Harvest Purple Corn Tortilla Chips on their shelves may contact Axium Foods Vice President of Sales Cindy Kuester.
