With growing interest in gut health, traditional digestives are getting a modern makeover thanks to brands like Chikka Chikka, which makes maple-roasted fennel seed digestives that are vegan-friendly, gluten-free, and made without refined sugar, and artificial colors and flavors.
The team behind the brand set out to share its love of Indian fennel seed mixes, and offer a better alternative to options made with an abundance of sugar and artificial ingredients.
These fun, healthy digestives in take-anywhere tins double as breath fresheners with oral health benefits. Chikka Chikka offers its modern digestives in three varieties powered by plant-based ingredients: Cardamom, Mint, and Cinnamon. These fennel seed digestives can be enjoyed as a standalone snack, a condiment, a tea or even a spice rub.
