34 Degrees' new gluten-free crisps boast a plant-based formula with just six ingredients: steamed chickpea flour, rice flour, potato starch, coconut oil, salt and sunflower lecithin. The dairy-free, non-GMO crackers are packed with protein and deliver the flavor and texture experience that consumers have come to expect from other kinds of 34 Degrees crackers, which are available in both sweet and savory varieties. As 34 Degrees' president and founder Craig Lieberman describes, "we took great care in selecting the best ingredients and taste-tested hundreds of recipes to get the flavor and texture just right."
Versatile and protein-rich chickpeas and other kinds of legumes and pulses are becoming the base for many plant-powered, free-from products across the food industry, including everything from rice alternatives to single-ingredient pasta.
