Ag Company Pivot Bio has launched Connect, a new line of snack foods grown by farmers using Pivot Bio’s microbial nitrogen instead of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.
John Henkhaus, business development and innovation strategy lead, says the first snack in the product line is a gourmet yellow butterfly popcorn kernel grown by Nebraska Farmer Brandon Hunnicutt.
“Popcorn was a natural first step in that direction simply because of how relatively easy it is to go from a grain to a product and then that product has multiple forms— raw kernels, our first product; microwavable popcorn, our next product; and then ready-to-eat down the road,” he says.
