Grain-based tots
RollinGreens originated as a Boulder, Colo., food truck and catering service in 1980, but it wasn’t until Lindsey and Ryan Cunningham took over the family business that the team decided to set their sights on retail. Despite their success at the Boulder farmers’ market, they’ve retired the truck to focus on a new packaged product line, beginning with one of their most popular items, Millet Tots.
These gluten-free, vegan bites are made from organic ancient grains and are sold in the freezer section. They come in three varieties: Original, Spicy-Sweet, and Italian Herb. Available for a suggested retail price of $4.99, the tots can be found in a variety of regional retailers, with distribution in nationwide Lucky’s stores coming this summer. The company plans to launch additional plant-based items next year.
