Natural food brand Kallø has added to its line of healthy snacking products with a two-strong offer of Puffed Oat Cakes.

Claimed to be a first-of-its-kind format to launch into the UK and designed to offer a healthier alternative to cereal bars and biscuits, Kallø Puffed Oat Cakes are made using the same techniques as a rice cake – only puffing oats, rather than rice, resulting in a light, airy, yet crunchy texture.

“it’s been an incredible journey from our initial testing phase to launching Kallø Puffed Oat Cakes”

The cakes come in two natural flavours – Strawberry and Honey – and, as well as being gluten-free, high in fibre and boasting fewer than 37 calories each, they contain beta glucan, a type of dietary fibre that can help lower cholesterol.

“No one has ever puffed an oat in this format before, so it’s been an incredible journey from our initial testing phase to launching Kallø Puffed Oat Cakes,” explains Jackie Wilson, Kallø brand controller at Ecotone UK. “As a leader in rice cakes, we wanted to apply our expertise in puffed ingredients to a new snacking segment … They’re a feel-good solution for breakfast or mid-morning snacking, offering a unique alternative to breakfast biscuits and cereal bars.”

The new range is made with natural ingredients and contains no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.
