Nongshim announced on the 11th that it will launch a new high-protein snack, ‘Uwahan Lentil Chip,’ which pursues both taste and nutrition, and will start sales from the 15th. This is the third high-protein snack following last year’s ‘Uwahan Kong Chip’ and ‘Cheese Chip.’
Nongshim’s Uwahan snacks contain 2 to 3 times more protein than conventional snacks. Since their launch, they have been steadily popular among consumers, who praise them as “snacks that can satisfy protein needs when you want a light bite.”
Lentils are gaining attention as a health food because they are not only high in protein but also contain essential amino acids. Uwahan Lentil Chip contains 39% lentil powder and is a high-protein snack with 11.8% protein content.
A Nongshim representative said, “We expect the trend of pursuing both health and taste to continue in the future,” adding, “We will continue to introduce various premium snacks that can meet consumers’ needs.”
