Chickpea snack brand Hippeas is adding to its chickpea tortilla chip line with the introduction of a Sea Salt & Lime flavour. The new variant will be added to the core range which includes Straight Up Sea Salt and Rockin' Ranch. The better-for-you tortillas are USDA Certified Organic, gluten-free and vegan, containing 3g grams of protein and fibre per 1oz serving. Paul Nardone, Hippeas CEO, commented: "The improved Hippeas chickpea tortilla chip line fulfills direct consumer feedback and we are really proud about where we landed with this innovation. This product really stands up well next to its mainstream competitor from a taste and texture standpoint, but that's where the comparisons end because Hippeas chickpea tortilla chips are organic and vegan and contain both protein and fibre and no artificial colours, flavours or ingredients of any kind." Hippeas tortilla chips are available on the brand's website, as well as on Amazon and in-store at retailers nationwide.
