Snacking startup The Honest Bean Co has added a range of fava bean snacks.
The range of snacks – Chilli & Lemon, Lightly Salted, Sea Salt & Cider Vinegar and BBQ – is made with British fava beans and are aimed at “health-conscious consumers that want to stay fuller for longer, are mindful of their food carbon footprint but don’t want to compromise on taste”, said The Honest Bean (rsp: £3.50/300g).
Fava beans “can be grown easily in the UK, are eco-friendly to farm and a great alternative to other pulses such as chickpeas, which tend to be grown in the Middle East before being transported to the UK to make products including houmous”, it added.
They join the brand’s existing range of fava bean dips, which it has positioned as an alternative to houmous.
The brand “wanted to see what else we could add to the range using the beans and tap into those grab-and-go moments to help fuel a busy day, but also to enjoy sharing over drinks on a Friday night”, said its director Zoe Oates.
They are available directly from the brand.
