The Bepps Black Eyed Pea Puff Snacks is a new snack variety that is set to launch into the convenience retail sector with a range of offerings for health-conscious consumers to choose in favor of traditional crunchy snack varieties.
The snacks are made with black eyed peas that have been crushed to create a flour before being baked into the final puffed snack. The snack is naturally rich in calcium and vitamin A with the peas themselves being sourced from local farmers directly in West Africa and South America.
The Bepps Black Eyed Pea Puff Snacks come in flavor varieties including 'Sea Salt & Black Pepper,' 'Cheese' and 'Sweet Chilli,' which are all set to hit convenience retailers by the end of August.
