Ecotone UK-owned brand Kallø has entered the crispbread market with the launch of a new range of crackers made from plants. Kallø Veggie Thins are snacking flatbreads crafted from chickpeas, boasting natural richness in fibre and plant protein. Available in three flavours – Rosemary & Sea Salt, Mixed Seeds, and Beetroot & Mixed Seed – the snacks are baked, not fried, and are not only gluten-free but also suitable for vegans, free from artificial flavours or preservatives. Ecotone's marketing director, Adele Ward, said: “It’s at Kallø’s core to deliver delicious healthy products suitable and accessible for all while making sure it’s also the right thing for the planet...Our goal is to continue transforming snacking with healthy and innovative products that don’t compromise on taste. With Kallø Veggie Thins, consumers can be proud to enjoy them both at the dinner table and as part of the ultimate sharing board." “As with our wider portfolio, Kallø uses natural ingredients to provide healthier, everyday snacking solutions. Veggie Thins are a source of plant protein and help bridge the fibre gap – with an estimated 91% of consumers not getting enough fibre in their diets.” Kallø Veggie Thins is available at Waitrose stores for an RRP of £2.99.
