Nuts, fruit and candies are some of the most popular chocolate-covered snacks on the market, but Biena Foods is now giving consumers an entirely new way to satisfy their sweet tooth with its newest Snacking Chickpeas.
This new trio of products introduces chickpeas covered in dark and milk chocolate, as well as caramel. As such, the snack provides a hit of sweetness, as well as just 140 calories, four grams of sugar, four grams of protein and five grams of fiber in a single serving.
As Poorvi Patodia, founder and CEO of Biena Foods says: “The line is based on this simple but powerful consumer insight that people today love chocolate and want to indulge, but they want to be smarter about it."
