Snacks that Save Water?

SAN MATEO, CALIFORNIA (April 25, 2022) – The world celebrated World Water Day last March 22. In the spirit of underscoring the importance of freshwater, we put the spotlight on a new healthy snack brand that’s slowly gaining popularity thanks to its unique yet very relevant purpose. Força Foods is an organic, allergen-free, vegan snack brand that offers deliciously healthy snacks made of watermelon seeds and other simple, natural ingredients. Founded on the simple yet powerful premise of helping people both save water and develop healthy dietary habits, the brand turned to watermelon seeds, a delicious superfood, to break away from commonly used nut crops that have excessive water footprints.

“UNICEF reports that four billion people–close to two-thirds of the world’s population–experience severe water shortages at least one out of every 12 months,” shares Força Foods Founder and CEO, Guilherme Maia Silva. “The same is true even for countries with enough freshwater supply. The most direct way to address this issue is by making sure that every community has the tools they need to get enough access to clean, fresh water. But we also need to focus on conservation. The world continues to deplete its freshwater resources through intensive agriculture. We hope to spread awareness about this issue and help lower the world’s water footprint.”

Força (meaning strength in Portuguese) makes it easy for anyone to do both at the same time, without making them feel deprived. The brand offers deliciously healthy snacks made with watermelon seeds, a superfood that has significantly less water footprint versus nuts. Simply by choosing their Organic Energy Bites (which sell for $19.96 per pack of four), you are saving 2.8 gallons per pouch versus when you consume almond-based protein bars; their Organic Nut-free Trail Mixes ($9.99 per pack) allow you to save 9.3 gallons of water per pouch versus traditional trail mixes.

Força Foods are not only healthy, these vegan-friendly snacks are also organic, dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free, contain absolutely no preservatives, and free from known allergens. As a testament to their commitment to a clean and uncomplicated life, Força snacks are made only of five ingredients, including watermelon seeds.

Força snacks are available in select specialty stores and community markets all over the U.S. You can also visit their website for hassle-free shopping. To know more, you may follow their Facebook and Instagram accounts.
