Stuffed jujube deliver sweet snacks
UK healthy snacks start-up Abakus Foods is launching a range of Nut Stuffed Red Dates Snacks.
The new range of four SKUs is made of the superfruit Red Dates, or jujube fruit, each stuffed with almonds, walnuts, cashews, and a combination of mixed nuts.
Jujube fruits have been enjoyed for health and well-being in the Far East for thousands of years, Abakus said. The creamy and nutty flavour of the nuts complements the natural sweetness of the red dates. Each pack contains 70 kcal.
As well as the new SKUs, Abakus is introducing a smaller snack pack of their original Chewy Red Dates and Crunchy Red Date Crisps. The new packages highlight “no added sugar”, “no sulphites”, “high in fibre” and “a source of potassium” features,
The whole range is gluten-free, dairy-free, and suitable for vegans.
Helen Wang, Abakus Foods founder and director said: “We brought the Red Dates over to the UK last year and were absolutely overwhelmed by the positive response. Despite being largely unknown in the UK, people have quickly embraced the lovely sweet Red Dates, and our loyal following is growing each day. We are committed to bringing the highest quality products for the best value, and to make tasty and wholesome snacks more accessible to everyone.”
The new products retail at £1.19-1.49 (€1.33-1.66).
