RIND Snacks

RIND Snacks, makers of upcycled and sustainable whole-fruit snacks (chewy and crisp varieties), is shaking up a category ‘ripe’ for disruption—fruit snacks—with a line of unique and functional whole fruit snacks that maximize nutrition and minimize food waste. The secret ingredient to RIND’s eco-friendly fruit snacks is not something they add, but rather what they don’t subtract: the rind. As the heart of a fruit’s nutritional power, the rind contains up to three times more fiber, vitamins and antioxidants than any other part of the fruit—and yet, these edible peels are one of the most commonly discarded food items.

These small scraps represent an estimated 10% of total food loss and with 40M tons of food unnecessarily wasted each year in the U.S., RIND is committed to creating nutritious, single-ingredient snacking alternatives that are better for both people and planet. In 2021 alone, RIND helped eliminate over 350,000 pounds of edible fruit waste from ending up in landfills and in 2022, the total for the amount of fruit waste saved amounted to approx. 1.03M pounds. The brand’s upcycled, eco-friendly offerings help to address food insecurity, climate change, resource and energy conservations issues by transforming ‘unwanted’ ingredients into crave-able snacks that today’s consumers love!
