Description

Here is a detailed description of Crax Curls: 1. Product Type & Texture Type: Crax Curls are corn-based puffs, not potato chips. They are made primarily from Corn Grits (usually around 65% of the ingredients). Manufacturing: They are 100% baked, not fried, which is often highlighted in the packaging as a guilt-free or healthier alternative to traditional fried snacks, boasting significantly less fat. Shape: They have a distinctive, whimsical twisted curl or spiral shape—hence the name "Curls." Texture: They are known for being light, airy, and crunchy initially, but quickly "melt-in-the-mouth" as they are chewed. This soft, dissolvable texture is a key differentiator from harder corn-based snacks like Kurkure or Bingo! Mad Angles. 2. Flavor Profiles Crax Curls are available in a few core flavors, but their signature variant is: Chatpata Masala (Signature Flavor): This is the most popular and classic variant. Taste: It delivers a bold, tangy, and moderately spicy flavor—the classic chatpata experience associated with Indian street food spices. The seasoning includes a mix of onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, and various acidity regulators like Citric Acid (INS 330) to achieve the signature tartness. Tomato Treat: A tangier, sweeter, and less spicy option focused on a pure tomato flavor. Cheesy Delight: A popular international-style flavor, offering a savory cheese taste. 3. Branding and Positioning Packaging: The packaging is typically bright and colorful, reflecting a fun and playful brand image that targets children and youth. The brand's motto emphasizes fun, encapsulated by the phrase "Straight is boring, curls are fun." Market Position: Crax Curls compete directly with other puffed and extruded snacks like Kurkure Puffcorn, but their emphasis on being baked and their light, "melt-in-mouth" texture sets them apart. Crax is a well-established, nostalgic brand in India, often associated with its sibling product, Crax Corn Rings.
