LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Oct. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. (HAIN), a leading organic and natural products company providing consumers with A Healthier Way of Life, announced the launch of two new TERRA Real Vegetable Chips flavors, Heritage Blend and Beauregard Sweets, exclusively at Whole Foods Market .

"TERRA Chips has been a committed partner to the Seed Savers Exchange for two years now, and we're excited to celebrate that partnership with these two new, delicious flavors," said Brett Hartmann, Snacks Category Manager at Hain Celestial.
