Brands like Tings from Pirate’s Booty have discontinued in the past few years, but other companies like Vegan Rob’s have stepped up to fill their place. Vegan Rob’s Puffs have a similar crunchy satisfaction to the Tings of days past, but they’re corn-free and made with puffed sorghum. They also come in an array of healthy flavors, ranging from dairy-free Cheddar to Moringa. And unlike Pirate’s Booty, all of Vegan Rob’s snacks are obviously dairy-free and vegan!
Vegan Rob’s Puffs come in Dairy-Free Cheddar and Superfood Flavors
Sorghum is a gluten-free whole grain that looks a bit like Israeli couscous. It’s the base for these vegan “cheese” puffs which are baked and seasoned with either cheesy, superfood, or vegetable powders.
