Kate Gaskell, Managing Director of Liberation Foods explains, “This range of products were designed to extol the wondrous health virtues of nuts, offering customers the ultimate in modern snacking – delicious, healthy, ethical and a little bit entertaining.”
“What’s also apparent is that whilst consumers are looking for nutritious alternatives to traditionally unhealthy snacks, they also demand products with great flavour which our new range certainly delivers on.”
Nutritionist and author Fiona Kirk adds: “Having fat in our diet is essential for brain, nerve, heart, hormone and bone health and around 80% of the fat in most nuts is monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat – the ‘healthy’ fats which the body needs.”
The products are sold in 40g packs via trading company and development charity traidcraftshop.co.uk.
