Sophisticated snacking

Great Taste Award winner Zaytoun has introduced a new addition to its range of Fairtrade roasted almonds . Having already created two delicious , flavored varieties - one with a chilli kick , and the other with a caramelised crunch - Zaytoun has now launched a Smoked option . Fairtrade certified and available in Oxfam shops , Whole Foods Market , Planet Organic , independent retailers , delis , village shops and farm shops , the Smoked almonds fit perfectly alongside the others in the range . www . zaytoun . uk
Our taster found that the almonds were super crunchy and had a wonderful creaminess . “ The quality of these nuts is evident as soon as you taste them – the natural almond flavor is enhanced and complemented by the gentle smokiness of the coating . They make a great accompaniment to a glass of beer or wine , or even just a snack on their own . Very impressed .”

The company ’ s purpose is to help food service businesses provide delicious and nutritious sustainable plant-based meat alternatives , while also inspiring people to live healthier , happier , and more compassionate lives .
Here at Food Chain , we were lucky enough to try the award-winning [ MOCK ] ® Lamb Pieces and [ MOCK ] ® Chicken Pieces . Both are highly versatile plant-based products with impressive protein content that can be used to replace meat in a variety of dishes .
Very impressed with how closely [ MOCK ] ® products resemble chicken and lamb , even uncooked . Extremely easy and quick to prepare , they smelt great when cooking , held their shape and took on a golden crispy hue . Most importantly , they tasted great and maintained a very realistic texture of both meats . Even a devoted carnivore tester was converted – high praise indeed !
