In total, nine new products will be available in the freezer aisle at select supermarkets and grocery stores across the United States this month.

The dinosaur-shaped Veggie Tots are well suited for air fryers and can be ready to eat in less than 10 minutes of preparation.

We can’t wait to help Americans put more veggies on their plates in completely new ways this fall.”
