Protein-packed pulse spreads
German brand Nabio launched a range of organic and vegan pulse-based protein spreads.
The additive-free bread spreads have a creamy texture and taste, and can be used on bread, in wraps or as a dip, the company said.
The front pack draws attention to the high protein content and, compared to traditional spreads with sunflower oil, these spreads contain around 50% less fat, Nabio said.
The range includes six flavours: chickpea and tomato; pea and basil; red lentil and walnut; soybean and curcumin; kidney bean and paprika; white bean, rocket and mustard.
The spreads have a ten-month shelf life and the recommended retail price for a 140 g jar is €2.49.
A typical ingredient list is: red lentils (25%), water, tomato paste , soybeans (13%), tomatoes (11%), sunflower oil, walnuts (4%), onions, dried dates (2.5%) (dates, rice flour), sea salt, agave syrup, lemon juice concentrate, garlic, ginger, cumin, thickener: locust bean gum, black cumin, coriander, black pepper.
