Brad’s Raw Crunchy KaleBrad’s Raw Crunchy Kale starts out with the most nutritionally dense leafy green vegetable available…fresh, leafy kale! We then batter it up with flavorful, natural ingredients including raw cashews, sunflower seeds, & spices to give the kale that extra punch of flavor.

The product is then dehydrated below 115 degrees (retaining active enzymes) to transform it into a light, crunchy and delectable snack food that rivals any popular unhealthy snack.

• Five fun flavors: Naked, Nasty Hot, Pina Kale-ada, Nacho, Vampire Killer, & Smokey Chipotle

• Available in 2.5, 1.0, and 0.5 oz. containers

Brad’s Raw Onion RingsBrad’s Raw Onion Rings start out with fresh, chopped onion, rich in vitamins, fiber & antioxidants. The chopped onions are then covered in a tasty batter made from natural ingredients such as seeds, vegetables and spices that give the onions that extra punch of flavor.

The product is then dehydrated below 115 degrees (retaining active enzymes) to transform it into a light, crunchy and delectable snack food that rivals any popular, unhealthy snack.

Brad’s Raw Sprouted SeedsBrad’s Raw Sprouted Seeds start out with nutrient rich pumpkin seeds, which are soaked and germinated (“sprouted”) in triple filtered water. This process activates the enzymes in the seed, transforming them into powerhouses of nutrition! The sprouted process also makes the seeds easier to digest, more bioavailable and filled with nutrients and complex proteins. We then drain them and gently season them with herbs and spices, making them into satisfyingly tasty (and healthy!) snacks.

• Available in 4 oz and 8 oz containers

• Comes in 3 flavors: Sour Supreme, Smokey Chipotle, & Brooklyn Pizza
