Key highlights
- 30% less salt: A better-for-you snack option, achieved through the use of Alberger® Salt, which is designed to deliver maximum salt impact while using less. It is characterized by better salt adherence, lower bulk density and faster salt dissolution rate, enabling less use and less waste.
- Enhanced salty perception: Enabled thanks to Alberger® Salt, which consists of unique pyramid-shaped salt crystals that enhance the consumers’ salty flavor experience when the seeds hit their tongue. You can use less without compromising the taste.
- Crunchy indulgence: A coating of native waxy corn starches can help to create a variety of textures, from crispy to brittle, and light to hard.
- Optimized frying efficiency: High oleic sunflower oil ensures a long frying life, neutral taste, and strong oxidative stability for extended shelf-life.
