Hisaki Snacks has launched its second product inspired by Asian flavours – Hisaki wasabi nuts.
The product contains no GM, MSG, hydrogenated fats, or artificial ingredients and is suitable for vegetarians. The nuts are crispy with a sweet taste, which perfectly complements the potent wasabi kick, offering consumers a fiery new twist on traditional snacks. The eye catching packaging reflects the product’s distinctive Asian roots.
Mark Stone, managing director of Hisaki Snacks says, “It’s been a challenge to develop a new product of suitably high quality to sit comfortably alongside our wasabi peas, but we are absolutely delighted with the result. As the appetite for Asian food continues to grow at a pace, we hope for an exciting 2012 ahead of us.”
Look out for wasabi nuts in delis, cinemas and bars, as well as Asian influenced restaurants and speciality food retailers soon.
