Organic hazelnut and cocoa spread the 'first' to use chickpeas

Fabalous has launched an Organic Hazelnut and Cocoa Spread, with an RRP of £4.99 per 200g jar. 

A combination of organic hazelnuts, cocoa and chickpeas, the company said the spread is the 'first' to use chickpeas as its 'primary ingredient' at 32%. The result is a spread that contains 81% more protein, 43% less saturated fat and 57% less sugar than 'the leading brand in the category', Fabalous claimed. 

Spring 2021 sees the addition of two new varieties in the range – Orange Hazelnut & Cocoa and Crunchy Hazelnut & Cocoa, ​made with hazelnut pieces 'for added bite'. 

Key to the creation of Fabalous was giving an 'everyday staple' a 'healthier and more sustainable twist', according to the brand. The recipe is made up of eight organic and plant-based ingredients, and the company swapped palm oil for cocoa butter and sunflower oil.

Fabalous is also committed to plastic free packaging, with glass jars, metal lids and paper labels.

The range is available now from Amazon and Planet Organic and will be rolling out via delis, cafés and retailers across the UK from 2021.
