Our first snack product was launched onto the Australian market as a sustainable, eco friendly product, low in fat, 2% high in fibre, >9% high in Proteine >10% ( close to the nutritional of raw oats with more fibre and protein)
Food Magazine awarded the chips/ crisps their prestigious " Best new snack food for 2008 " and "Best new food for 2008"
The chips / crisps were made from whole washed and inspected fresh un peeled potato. Why un peeled?
Most potato processing plants peel the potato and create 6-25% waste depending on the peeling process and time of year. That's a lot of waste, and potential green house gas.
In peeling the potato most of the fibre, protein and sub skin nutriments are lost, we kept all the goodness in our product by not peeling the potato.
Next came the pollution caused by the nutrient's leaching into the processing water. We engineered our process to allow us to discharge our process water untreated with processing cost savings a healthier product and a win for the environment.
