Plant-based food company ZenB has launched a new range of better-for-you plant-based pasta sides. The new products contain ZenB’s fast-cooking yellow pea pasta and chef-crafted seasoning blends in four bold globally-inspired flavours. The sides come in four variants: Cashew e Pepe, Broccoli and Almond, Roasted Garlic Soy and Chili Fiesta. The new products are said to offer a quick, nutritious meal, ready in under five minutes. Each serving of the gluten-free pasta contains between 12-14g of protein and 7g of fibre. This is the latest in a number of ZenB innovations. Last year the brand unveiled new shapes of its yellow pea pasta, lasagna and cavatappi, and a few months prior, the brand introduced Cracker Crisps – baked crackers made with simple plant-based ingredients including olive oil and seasonings alongside the yellow pea base. ZenB Pasta Sides are available to purchase in select US retailers now.
