RHINEBECK, N.Y. — Maya Kaimal Fine Indian Foods, an established producer of award-winning specialty sauces, announces the launch of a new line of Chickpea Chips available nationally in three distinct flavors: Lightly Salted, Seeded Multigrain and Sweet Chili. Maya Kaimal Chickpea Chips are made with carefully sourced ingredients including a special blend of chickpeas and rice. The chips contain no GMO's, have no trans fats, and are gluten-free, kosher and vegan.
Inspired by a traditional South Indian snack, murukku, Maya Kaimal Chickpea Chips celebrate the complex and satisfying flavors of South Asia. These health-conscious crisps take their unique and savory flavor profile from the Indian spice asafetida and ground red chili. These seasonings are often used together in South Indian cooking and offer a refreshingly different taste to liven up snack time.
"My Chickpea Chips are an intriguingly different snack option, offering loads of protein and fiber with a light crunchy bite. We don't use corn or wheat fillers, but instead rely on a unique combination of chickpea and rice flours," says owner Maya Kaimal. "I've taken the best features of Indian chickpea-based snacks and reimagined them into a snack for discerning American palates."
Maya Kaimal Chickpea Chips debuted March 7, 2014 at the Natural Products Expo West to wide acclaim, and retail for a suggested $3.49 per 4.5 ounce bag. For more information visit www.mayakaimal.com or contact Calhoun & Company Communications.
