Innovative brand Nudie Snacks has chosen wonky vegetables to market a new product made from fresh produce that would usually have been discarded. The company’s Caulifower Crisps are made from 40% fresh cauliflower grown in Scotland and come in two different flavours – cheese and caramelised onion and katsu curry.

The Ayrshire brand says the crisps are in line with its ethos of producing quality plant-based snacks that are a healthier alternative. With no artificial flavourings or colourings, the Cauliflower Crisps are low in sugar and 40% lower in saturated fat than traditional potato crisps, making a healthier snacking option.

According to information, they are cutting food waste as the crisps are made from vegetables often thrown out because they don’t meet standard shape and size requirements.

Tracey Hogarth, founder of Nudie Snacks: “We are the first to market this product – it’s the perfect snack and doesn’t compromise on taste or quality. With the health risks associated with diabetes, obesity and coronavirus, it has never been a more important time to keep your immune system and gut health in good condition.”

A 22gm bag of Cauliflower Crisps has only 118 calories and the product is suitable for those following vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free diets.
