BENSALEM, PENN. – June 1, 2022 -- The Greater Knead, maker of uniquely delicious gluten-free/top 9 allergen-free New York-style bagels, will present its new, fast-growing product line of soft pretzel nuggets, along with refreshed packaging, as a first-time exhibitor at the Summer Fancy Food Show, June 12-14, at the Javits Center in New York City (Booth #7448).
The Greater Knead’s soft, chewy New York-style bagels and soft pretzel nuggets with a classic pretzel crust are made with all-natural, premium ingredients and are Non-GMO Project Verified, certified gluten-free, top 9 allergen-free, vegan, and kosher. They are free from wheat, milk, eggs, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, and sesame.
“With the addition of new eye-catching photography and bolder graphics, our refreshed packaging better captures the unique texture, taste, and variety of our products and highlights our flavors and certifications even more prominently,” said CEO and Founder Michelle Carfagno. “Our soft pretzels have already received an incredible amount of interest, and the second half of 2022 looks to be a record-breaking year of growth for The Greater Knead. We love providing our customers with the opportunity to enjoy some of their old favorites without worry.”
The gluten-free soft pretzel nuggets are available in four flavors:
Classic – The traditional soft baked pretzel nugget is warm and chewy on the inside with a delightful crust. It pairs perfectly with your favorite mustard, hummus, or even a plant-based dip of choice. A salt packet is included to apply just the right amount of salty goodness.
Cinnamon Sugar – For the sweetie who seeks a balanced combination of sugar, cinnamon, and doughy delights, these are perfect as is or a delectable treat with chocolate fondue or honey. A cinnamon and sugar packet is included for applying as little or as much sweet seasoning as your heart desires.
Everything – Savory with a blend of seasoned perfection from a light mix of poppy, garlic, and onion that won’t overpower, these pretzels are inspired by the flavors of an Everything bagel.
Spicy Buffalo –The newest gluten-free flavor features a seasoned buffalo-style doughy nugget. It includes a seasoning packet to apply as little or as much mild yet zesty hot sauce that will wake up your taste buds.
