Food trend treats
As soon as summer is over, we no longer crave ice cream, but cookies. Our favorites are the crispy Gerber biscuits, whose history goes back over 100 years. Made from wholemeal, the traditional Swiss cookies are now available in eight different varieties – for example with coconut, lemon, chocolate or honey. Gerber Biscuits does not use palm oil at all and instead uses rapeseed oil for all its certified organic treats. With these cookies in the pantry, we can cope with the change of season a little better. Gerber biscuits, various varieties, 2 x 80 g, approx. 6.-
Planted kebab
Eat meat? Sure, but in moderation. However, when the alternatives are as delicious as the plant-based pulled pork or chicken from Planted, the decision is twice as easy. The Swiss start-up duo has now been joined by planted.kebab, the meatless kebab. The plant-based alternative to normal kebabs consists of just four ingredients – water, pea protein, rapeseed oil and pea fibers, plus salt and spices. Skeptics will look in vain for additives, and the plant-based kebab easily keeps up with the original in the taste test. Planted, “planted.kebab”, 200 g, approx. 7.-
