The range consists of four options including Chickpeas, Quinoa, Cannellini Beans and Red Kidney beans, which are all drained and ready to serve right out of the can. This will accommodate consumers who are seeking out products that are easy to prepare and suited for their favorite recipes without requiring extensive preparation.
The Napolina canned food range was spoke on by Commercial Director for Napolina Neil Brownbill who said, "Our innovation in the category continues to be driven by consumer demand for products which provide solutions for everyday modern mealtimes. Our new drained and ready to serve pulses provide the convenience consumers crave as well as a tasty protein alternative in response to the growing flexitarianism trend. We know that shoppers want us to help them to bring their love of Italian cooking to life and we will continue to develop products which evolve the category."
