Pulp is available in three flavour blends, each containing three fruits: Strawberry, Raspberry and Banana; Banana, Mango and Passion Fruit, or Apple, Strawberry and Blueberry. Having tried all three, we can say that the lead fruit flavour hits your taste buds initially, with notes of the other fruits coming through as an aftertaste on your palate. These products are made with 100% fruit pulp and contain no added water, juice or sugars. Their contents are pictured on the front of the individual pouch so you know what you are eating. They are a great way to get a fresh tasting fruit hit anywhere without the need to incur the mess of preparing it for yourself, or to use utensils, as you can drink them straight from the pouch.
Pulp is a good product for those of us who feel a little guilty that we are not giving our bodies the ‘five a day’ that we should. They do not need to be refrigerated so are convenient to keep in the office, or to carry and eat on the train, tube or bus on your way to work or, indeed, to stop that gap on your way home as an alternative to that indulgent chocolate bar. A healthy snack at practically any time of the day.
Pulp pouches are available from Ocado at £1.29, also at Harvey Nichols, Wholefoods as well as selected sandwich and deli stores. For more information about these products go to www.pulpfruits.co.uk
