Sweetened Chickpea Snacks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Saffron Road's Crunchy Chickpeas Boast Flavors Like Dark Chocolate Chai

— January 27, 2018 — Lifestyle
To add to its existing line of Crunchy Chickpeas in savory, spicy flavors like Falafel, Bombay Spice and Chipotle, Saffron Road is now adding a trio of sweet varieties inspired by indulgent flavors. At the Winter Fancy Food Show, Saffron Road introduced its Dark Chocolate Chai, Salted Caramel and Honey Roasted flavors, offering an alternative way for consumers to enjoy the taste of the legume.

While there are many recipes available for roasted chickpeas that share how consumers can make their own Sriracha-hoisin, garlic-parmesan or Moroccan-spiced varieties at home, there are far fewer sweet options available, especially when it comes to prepackaged products.

As well as offering consumers a healthy way to indulge their sweet tooth, these new Saffron Road Crunchy Chickpeas satisfy with four grams of protein per portion.
