The Woodridge Snacks Yuzu Zest Japanese Tempura Veggie Mix has been added to the brand's product portfolio as a crispy, satisfying snack option that incorporates elements of Japanese cuisine.
The product starts off with zucchini, eggplant and onions that are coated in a gluten-free rice flour before being vacuum-fried to preserve their flavor, while also giving them a delicately crispy texture. The snack thus features the signature taste and texture of Japanese tempura dishes to work well for fans of the fresh dishes. The product will make its official launch in March at the Expo West show with its zesty citrus and wasabi-flavored seasoning.
The Woodridge Snacks Yuzu Zest Japanese Tempura Veggie Mix will launch in 30-gram bags into the grocery channel in the US.
