I would be the first to admit that the humble chickpea has every reason to remain humble, and equally that it is hard to get over excited about Hummus.
And yet Truffle Hummus is a marriage made in heaven that rewrites the rules. If you are trying to eat healthier this, and their new snack pot, could be for you. Personally, I will be buying in a supply of Truffle Hummus for Christmas, as I like show off my latest finds over the holiday period. I know I should get out more, but it has become expected of me, that I will have those tasty treats unknown to most.
As a vegetarian I may well add this to my vegetable Wellington, the centrepiece of Christmas lunch, especially as it is also suitable for vegans, and I am sure that it will make an appearance, as a part of my Boxing Day Buffet.
Quite often foods advertised as ‘Truffle’ have very little truffle taste, so that one wonders why they bothered, but with this the taste of truffle is sufficiently strong, yet well balanced, with the Hummus to tickle the most tired of tastebuds. The texture is velvety smooth, and the truffle comes through to the last mouthful.
In true ChicP fashion, the Truffle Hummus follows suit of the core range by using surplus vegetables, whole foods and locally sourced produce where possible. All ChicP products are 100% natural, rich in protein, fibre and healthy fats, completely free from additives and suitable for vegans.
Not content with this alchemy ChicP has come up with a UK first.An ambient snack-pack of ChicP’s velvety hummus and breadsticks. It has a 12 month shelf life and requires no refrigeration. The packaging alone took seven months to design to ensure the hummus stayed at the highest quality without the need for chilling and to keep its shelf-life long. So, people can pop the snack pack in their bag, perfect for travellers, commuters, families on-the-go or those who love to stay active – hiking, camping, cycling etc. It’s high fibre+high protein but low fat, sugar and salt.
Like a healthy hummus Dairylea Dunker has just launched on Amazon and I suspect will be a boon to parents making up a healthy lunch box and office workers who would prefer to snack without resorting to junk food.
