FREEZE!
Depending on how you like your heat,
you could say that Colombia has a
near perfect climate, blessed with all
year-round sunshine which makes for
wonderful fruit. However, by the time it's
shipped to the UK some of the flavour and
nutritional value is lost. At La Chiva Snacks
the fruit is freeze-dried when the fruit is at
its ripest, so these little snack bags bring
the fabulous taste of Colombian fruit with
absolutely nothing added or taken away.
The process preserves all the goodness,
turning mangoes, strawberries and
pineapples into light and crispy snacks.
Freeze drying fruit means it retains much
more nutrients and flavour than alternative
methods. Each pack has less than 40
calories. In the Colombian countryside,
Chiva buses are the only way to travel,
taking workers to farms and fresh fruit
to market. La Chiva Snacks is named
for them as without them there would be
no Colombian fruit to freeze, pack and
sell. Currently available in Mango (10g),
Strawberry (8g) and Pineapple (10g) for
89p per bag (also sold in packs).

GRAB & GO EDIBLE INSECTS
Edible insects, in the form of crunchy
crickets, are available in all 23 Abokado
stores across London. The whole crickets
from Eat Grub* are available as part of
the brand's unique customisable range
of toppings for customers purchasing all
salads, poke bowls and hotpots. The sweet
chilli and lime crunchy roasted crickets
will complement new dishes such as the
Nutritious Noodles salad range, Superbox
salads and healthy all-day grazing pots. The
insects will also be available in grab packets,
along with the brand's current range of
impulse snacks such as nuts, edamame,
popcorn and Popchips. The company said
it had made the decision to stock the insects as an innovative new product, which
is both nutritious and environmentally friendly, in line with its own core values. Eaten
worldwide by around two billion people, insects are a significantly more environmentally
friendly source of protein as their farming uses only a fraction of the land, water and feed
required for traditional livestock. Insects are also estimated to release 80% less methane
than cows. Edible insects are complete protein, contain all nine essential amino acids
and include important minerals like iron and calcium. They're good for gut health too.

*Eat Grub is a boundary-breaking sustainable food brand that aims to revolutionise
Western food culture by introducing insects as a staple part of it. Products from this
rapidly growing food start-up can now be found in over 700 stores across Europe
including Sainsbury's in the UK. www.eatgrub.co.uk
