Healthy green peas snack alternative
Snack manufacturer Calbee UK unveiled a green pea snack alternative to fried crisps in a bid to meet widespread calls for healthier eating.
The product, Yushoi Snapea Rice Sticks, is made using green peas and has less than 99 calories per bag or per serving, the firm claimed.
It is high in fibre and a source of protein, nut and dairy free, suitable for vegetarians and vegans and has no artificial colours, flavours or monosodium glutamate (MSG), it added.
It is available in a number of flavours, including: soy and balsamic vinegar; smoked salt and szechuan pepper; sweet chilli and lemon and lightly salted.
Calbee UK marketing director Dave Wilson said: “Yushoi Snapea Rice Sticks is like nothing else. Lovingly made using green peas and baked with seasonings that really play on the Japanese influence we know that we have something really special for people to try.”
Calbee UK will launch more than 1.8M sample packs to consumers.
