Ayrshire food brand Nudie Snacks has launched a new product made from wonky veg it says would go to waste because supermarkets won't sell it.
The Stewarton firm's vegan-friendly Caulifower Crisps are made from 40% Scottish-grown cauliflower in two flavours – cheese and caramelised onion and katsu curry.
The company says they are a healthier alternative, with 118 calories in a 22g bag, no artificial flavourings or colourings, low in sugar and 40% lower in saturated fat than traditional potato crisps.
Tracey Hogarth, founder of Nudie Snacks, said: “We wanted to find a way to use all the wonky cauliflowers that shops think they can’t or shouldn't be selling and making them into a snack we’re proud of.
“We are the first to market this product – it’s the perfect snack and doesn’t compromise on taste or quality. Eating pulses is better for you, keeps you fuller for longer and prevents you reaching for high-fat, high-sugar snacks.”
The crisps are part of a new range that includes Lentil Curls flavoured with Chilli and lime, Quinoa Chips with Sundried Tomato and Garlic, Lightly Salted Roasted Corn, Lightly Salted Hummus Chips and Popcorn.
