UK pulses and grains brand, Merchant Gourmet, has added a new pouch to its plant-based portfolio: Spiced Grains & Chestnuts with Wild Rice & Cranberries.
The limited-edition offering can be enjoyed on its own or used to make plant-based variations on seasonal dishes, such as stuffing balls, winter wellingtons and stews.
The ready-to-eat pouch combines pearl barley, wild rice, chestnuts and cranberries with a blend of festive herbs and spices, including nutmeg, cinnamon, rosemary and thyme.
A source of fibre, Spiced Chestnuts & Grains contains no preservatives or artificial colours and is said to be low in fat.
“We’re really excited to be adding Spiced Grains & Chestnuts to our range, providing shoppers with a new and exciting product that is specially designed to complement festive dishes,” said Richard Peake, managing director at Merchant Gourmet.
“[Chestnut]…is a staple for many throughout the festive season and we believe the new pouch will be popular amongst those looking for plant-based alternatives this Christmas.”
With an RRP of £2.00 per 250g, the pouch is rolling out to Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Morrisons and Ocado.
Earlier this year, Merchant Gourmet announced the launch of a new range of easy vegan jars.
