We are delighted to have picked up two prestigious Good Choice! Quality Food Awards and a high commendation against tough competition from both large and small food producers.

The awards, presented by chef and food writer Rachel Allen, are recognition that our innovative use of British-grown peas and beans to make versatile flours and moreish snacks allows us to produce foods of the highest quality and with clear UK provenance.

All of them have worked hard to create a range of healthier, but still delicious products. Now in our third year we are proud to help promote and recognise the huge efforts being made by retailers and manufacturers to address the need for low fat, low sugar, dairy free and reduced calorie alternatives.”
