A new health food with a difference has been produced in Scotland.
Podberry is pea snack which has just secured its first national listing and is on sale from Morrisons stores across Scotland.
The UK’s first freeze-dried seasoned snack, created on the fourth generation family farm in Perthshire, initially began its journey to development in 2017.
A spokesman said: ‘With an ever-growing demand for healthy snacks from the consumer, but too many hitting the shelves but not quite hitting the mark, we believe Podberry offers something unique.’
Currently available in two flavours Podberry delivers a burst of flavour with every pea. In single serve 20g packs, they’re perfect as part of a healthy lunch or as a snack.
Vegan, low in calories and gluten free, whether Sea Salt and Balsamic Vinegar or the Sweet Chilli flavour, there’s no need to worry about what’s going into the product with less than 1g of fat, only 70 calories and a healthy 4.5g protein in every 20g Podberry pack.
Frozen in less than two and a half hours from harvest and then freeze dried, not fried, they pop into the crunchy, delicious snack you will see on shelves. Finished with only a specially created flavour blend, free from artificial colours, flavours and preservatives, added to perfectly compliment the peas themselves.
