San Miguel Produce Inc., Oxnard, Calif., is introducing a line of Kale Chip Kits for consumers to make the healthy snacks at home.

The kits, under the Cut ‘N Clean Greens label, come in Zesty Ranch, Sea Salt & Lemon Pepper and Honey Mustard. Each bag includes de-stemmed kale and a seasoning packet. They can be prepared in an oven or microwave, and each bag makes two servings, according to a news release.

“We are always getting requests for new ways to use kale, and the number-one cooking question asked by our consumers is ‘how do I make kale chips?’” Megan Ichimoto, marketing and product development manager, said in the release. “ … Kale Chips can easily substitute as a great-tasting snack in place of many of the less healthy snacking alternatives on the market.”

The Kale Chip Kits debuted at the Produce Marketing Association’s Fresh Summit Expo in mid-October and are now available for order.
