## Description

Smoky bacon is a classic British crisp flavour, and the Hula Hoops version has no bacon in it: the smoke comes from a smoked sugar. This multipack holds six 24g bags of the potato rings, 144g in total. The full product name on the pack is smoky bacon flavour potato rings.The ingredientsAccording to the published pack listing, the rings are made from potato (potato starch and dried potato), sunflower oil, rice flour, a smoky bacon flavour (dried yeast extract, smoked dextrose, rice flour, salt, dextrose, sugar, dried onion, potassium chloride, dried garlic, natural flavouring, citric acid and paprika extract for colour), maize flour, potassium chloride and salt.Where the smoke comes fromSmoked dextrose is a simple sugar that has been exposed to wood smoke, and it carries the smoky, cured note of bacon in a dry powder. Yeast extract leads the flavour and gives the savoury, meaty depth; dextrose and sugar add the slight sweetness of cured bacon, and onion and garlic round it out.Dextrose and sugarDextrose appears twice, plain and smoked, alongside a little sugar, but the label gives only 1.6g of sugars per 100g, because the seasoning is a small part of each ring.Garlic and onionDried onion and dried garlic give a savoury, cooked depth under the smoke, the base of many barbecue rubs.No baconNo meat of any kind is listed, and the pack says the rings are suitable for vegetarians. The smoke and savour do the work that bacon would.Potassium chloride and the salt figurePotassium chloride appears twice, in the flavour and in the rings themselves. It tastes salty but contains no sodium, and the salt figure on a UK label is worked out from sodium. The label gives 1.5g of salt per 100g, the second lowest of the Hula Hoops six bag packs we stock, after Hula Hoops Original at 1.4g.The ringHula Hoops are made from a dough of potato starch and dried potato, with rice and maize flour, which gives a light, even crunch rather than the brittle snap of a sliced crisp.Rice and maize flourRice flour and maize flour sit beside the potato in the dough, and rice flour carries the seasoning too, helping give the rings their light, even texture.The numbersThe label gives 495 kcal (2071 kJ), 24g of fat, 2.3g of saturates, 64g of carbohydrate, 1.6g of sugars, 2.4g of fibre, 3.4g of protein and 1.5g of salt per 100g. The published listing gives figures per 100g only; worked out for a 24g bag, that comes to 5.8g of fat and 0.36g of salt, about 6% of an average adult's daily reference intake for salt.Reading the front of the packOn the UK front of pack scale, per 100g, fat at 24g is red. Saturates at 2.3g are amber and sugars at 1.6g are green. Salt at 1.5g is amber, right at the top of its band.Allergens and dietNo allergens from the UK list of 14 are highlighted in the published ingredients. The allergy advice says the rings may contain cereals containing gluten and milk. The pack says they are suitable for vegetarians; there is no vegan claim and no gluten free claim. Recipes and factory arrangements change, so check the allergy advice on the pack you receive.What the pack leaves outThe pack says there are no artificial flavours or colours and no MSG; the colour is paprika extract. Yeast extract, which leads the flavour, is naturally rich in glutamates, which is worth knowing for anyone who avoids glutamates altogether.Who it suitsA smoky, meaty flavour with no meat on the list suits vegetarians who miss a bacon crisp. Check the may contain advice for milk and gluten first.Six bags or a variety boxFor more than one flavour, the Hula Hoops Variety boxes mix original, cheese and onion, salt and vinegar and, in the twelve bag box, BBQ beef.Six bags for the weekSix bags cover a working or school week with one to spare. A smoky, savoury ring suits a cheese sandwich, a tomato soup or an egg mayonnaise roll.Serving ideasSmoky bacon rings suit a party bowl or a picnic, and they go well with a cheese and tomato sandwich or a mug of soup.In the kitchenCrushed, the rings make a smoky crumb for the top of a macaroni cheese or a leek and potato bake, giving a bacon note to a meat free dish.Storage and packagingThe pack advises a cool, dry place. The published recycling guidance says the whole packaging can be recycled with carrier bags at large supermarkets and should not go in home recycling.Other Hula HoopsIn the same six bag format we stock Hula Hoops Original, Cheese and Onion, Salt and Vinegar and BBQ Beef, and the six and twelve bag Hula Hoops Variety boxes.Other 6 x 24g packs of Hula Hoops we stockProductEnergySalt per 100gHula Hoops BBQ Beef Potato Rings120 kcal per 24g bag2.2gHula Hoops Cheese and Onion Potato Rings120 kcal per 24g bag1.8gHula Hoops Original Potato Rings120 kcal per 24g bag1.4gHula Hoops Salt and Vinegar Potato Rings120 kcal per 24g bag2gHula Hoops Smoky Bacon Potato Rings (this pack)119 kcal per 24g bag1.5gHula Hoops Variety Potato Rings120 kcal per 24g bag1.8gFigures as published on each pack's label.The published listing gives the United Kingdom as the country of origin.
