Nudie Snacks' new Cauliflower Crisps are made with 40% cauliflower grown in Scotland that help to reduce food waste, as the snacks are actually made from fresh yet "wonky" produce that would have otherwise been discarded. The Cauliflower Crisps are offered in varieties like Katsu Curry and Cheese and Caramelised Onion, both of which can be enjoyed as a better-for-you alternative to potato chips.
The Cauliflower Crisps by Nudie Snacks are made with 38% cauliflower puree as the first ingredient, plus a few other simple additions like corn flour, potato flakes and other ingredients and seasonings to create each of the uniquely flavored varieties. According to Nudie Snacks, the vegan- and vegetarian-friendly Cauliflower Crisps snacks are low in sugar and have 40% less fat than potato-based crisps, all without compromising on flavor.
