Hülsenreich GmbH

Packed with vegetable proteins, vegan and sustainable: pulses are naturally trendy. But lentils, beans and the like have not yet really arrived in the mainstream. The start-up Hülsenreich wants to change that! With their chickpeas for snacking, they have managed to give pulses a new look and bring the power plants to the snack shelves.

Using an innovative hot-air process, the rich chickpeas are roasted until crispy without any fat. This preserves the healthy properties of the pulses: Free of gluten, animal substances and additives, they provide almost 20g of protein and 30g of fibre per bag. The result is the perfect snack in three delicious varieties: refined spiced with Cajun (spicy-hot) or curry (fruity-mild) or coated with dark, vegan chocolate.

Depending on the variety, the crunchy protein bombs are not only suitable for healthy snacking in between meals. As a crunchy topping, the chocolate chickpeas add pep and protein to muesli in the morning. The spiced versions are great on soups or add a delicious crunch to salads.

Chickpeas for snacking can be bought in (organic) shops or - completely without packaging - in unpackaged shops. Online, too, there is the option of choosing between a commercially available plastic bag or an environmentally conscious paper bag.

Hülsenreich produces all its snack products itself. In Halle (Saale), organically grown chickpeas are first soaked for at least 12 hours, which makes them much more digestible. Then they are boiled and roasted without fat. Finally, the pulses are refined, refined and packaged.
