New snacks from Glennans

New snacks from Glennans

Family owned business Better Tasting Snack Foods has launched their own range of vegetable crisps, Glennans. The crisps contain lightly fried beetroot, carrot, sweet potato and parsnips. They are free from artificial additives and flavour enhancers, recapturing the traditional flavour now lost through mass production. Available in 20 g bags for consumers and 600 g buckets for trade, Glennans vegetable crisps will benefit the hospitality industry, offering a quality garnish for chefs to complement meals and an interesting snack for more casual customers.

The vegetables are sourced from quality suppliers across the globe to ensure a superior tasting crisp. The raw vegetables are washed and randomly sliced in their skins to ensure the most natural vegetable crisp possible. Immediately they are lightly fried in sunflower oil to seal in the natural goodness and flavour. The freshly cooked crisps are then delicately tossed in sea salt, creating the very best product available.

Also available are Glennans pan fried potato crisps (Sea Salt, Sea Salt & Balsamic Vinegar and Sea Salt & Black Pepper) and Glennans nutritious crispy apple slices. Like their vegetable counterparts, these new products use only the best, fresh produce and are free from artificial additives and flavour enhancers.

Glennans nutritious crispy apple slices are made from the tastiest Fuji Red Apples sourced by quality suppliers from the far shores of China. After harvesting the finest specimens, the apples are hand washed, peeled, cored and rinsed before being hand cut. The slices are then oven dried in a two stage process, ensuring that the nutritional goodness is retained. Due to low fat content and significant carbohydrate content, Glennans nutritious crispy apple slices are an excellent choice for children and those in sport.

With the Crisps and Snacks market projected to grow 20 per cent in 2005, adult orientated and organic products are expected to benefit the most. As customers demand more sophisticated, exotic flavours and less additives, Glennans are pleased to provide premier snacks, where price is less of an issue, but where taste, quality and originality are paramount.
