15 specialityfoodmagazine.com Healthy new snack fromMarigold Marigold Health Foods, renowned since 1978 for its range of nutritional yeasts and boullions, andmore recently, its meat-free alternatives, has unveiled its first venture into the world of snacking . Popcorn Plus is a vegan, gluten-free brand, enhancing the nutty flavour of popped corn kernels withMarigold’s savoury, umami, almost cheesy Engevita nutritional yeast, and a touch of sea salt. Each 20g bag contains less than 100 calories, and is high in Vitami n D, Vitamin B12, and fibre. “After some thorough and fun production trials, Marigold is very happy to introduce a healthier snack, based upon wholegrain popcorn, and our ever-popular Engevita nutritional yeast. Great taste. Great price. What’s not to like?” says managing director Peter Langsam. marigoldhealthfoods.co.uk Mothernutter, the gourmet peanut butter brand fromLake District- based preserves and sauces maker Wild & Fruitful, has just added two newflavours to its range. Chocolate & Orange Peanut Butter and Hot & Smoky Peanut Butter are available for independent retailers now. “When our head chef suggested putting orange in the silky-smooth chocolate peanut butter he made, we thought he’d taken the nuttiness a little far,” the Mothernutter team says. “We were wrong. The zesty orange develops as you eat. It’s as wonderful as it is wild.” Talking about the savoury new addition, they add, “We’ve taken our signature deep roast crunchy peanut butter and blended it with just the right amount of fiery Naga chillies and rich smoky paprika. We think it’s a bit of a first. It’s great on toast, with cheese, or in spicy dishes.” Both flavours are 100% natural, and sold in 280g jars. Other flavours in the range include Pumpkin Spice & Seed, andMaple Bacon. mothernutter.co.uk New launches fromCambrook Cambrook has added to its successful line of premium snacks in glass jar packaging by adding three new products for 2024.
