Innovative nut snack
Through a patented process we have developed a novel snack based on nuts (up to 83%), with an original texture, all the nutritional richness of nuts, no added sugars, no gluten or dairy derivatives. Suitable for vegans.
AZTI has developed a snack for Ecolumber, a company specialising in the cultivation and marketing of nuts and dried fruit, which retains all the nutritional and organoleptic properties of nuts and dried fruit, but with a new structure that has made it possible to reduce the calorie density. The result is a product that will make a positive contribution to the fight against obesity.
The product, marketed under the brand Airnuts, is available in two varieties: original and flavoured. The original range includes almonds, pistachios and peanuts, while the flavoured range is based on peanuts flavoured with sour cream, hot chilli, salt and pepper.
The Hot Chilli product was awarded Best Flavour of 2022 in the UK. Its success is largely due to its revolutionary expanded, voluminous and porous structure, which allows a significant reduction in caloric density (calories per serving) without the need to incorporate any type of sugar.
Uriarte Iturrate S.L.U., part of the Ecolumber Group, was awarded the Carrefour prize for the best SME for its strong commitment to innovation with the Air Nuts product.
