Description

Born from a collaboration with Foreverland (a young Italian company, just like us). They're protein snacks with a peanut and chocolate flavour (but without cocoa!), enriched with our yeast protein — complete and highly digestible — and coated in Choruba®, the cocoa-free chocolate created by Foreverland from Italian carob using an innovative process. Choruba® is made with traditional chocolate-making methods to guarantee the best quality, taste and appearance, and is an alternative ingredient to cocoa. Thanks to Small Giants nutritional yeast, this plant-based snack is high in protein. The pack contains 3 single portions of 25g each.

The Small Giants extra touch

Yeast protein: what's really inside

It's not an animal, and technically it's not a plant either: it's a microscopic fungus. As it ferments, it produces complete protein, rich in fibre and vitamins.

  • What does it taste like?

    On its own (grated topping, Crunchy Puffs) it has a naturally umami, cheesy taste. When only the protein is isolated, the flavour turns neutral: that's why it goes into pasta and taralli without changing their taste.

  • Is it the same yeast as in pizza?

    The very same, but don't worry: nobody rises like dough on the sofa. It's a microscopic fungus that, as it ferments, produces complete protein, rich in fibre and vitamins.

  • How do I use it?

    Sprinkle the grated topping on your pasta dishes instead of cheese, or munch on the Crunchy Puffs: at aperitivo time they're perfect for dipping in guacamole.

Quality counts too

Complete protein

Proteins are made of amino acids, the way a puzzle is made of pieces. Nine are essential: the body doesn't produce them, so they have to come from food. Some foods contain only a few of them; our protein sources contain them all.

As it ferments, yeast produces complete protein, with all 9 essential amino acids and no ingredients of animal origin.

9/9essential amino acids

  • Histidine
  • Isoleucine
  • Leucine
  • Lysine
  • Methionine
  • Phenylalanine
  • Threonine
  • Tryptophan
  • Valine

This refers to the protein source used in the product.
