But we also know that developing nutritional snacks is a tricky business. Low fat, low salt, more fibres, more proteins...it's making it hard to keep a great taste and texture. That's why we have developed pulse-based micropellets suitable for popped chips or puffed cakes, with chickpea or faba bean, to enhance the protein level of your snacks and guarantee a low fat bite. ![Chickpea micropellet Delicious taste 11% proteins (1)](https://blog.limagrain-ingredients.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Chickpea%20micropellet%20Delicious%20taste%2011%25%20proteins%20(1).png?width=600&name=Chickpea%20micropellet%20Delicious%20taste%2011%25%20proteins%20(1).png)Our R&D team is here to support you in your developments with our pulses-based micropellets so feel free to reach out.
