This is the 150g sharing bag, which the label divides into six 25g servings. The full product name on the pack is Crunchy Savoury Wholewheat Sticks.The ingredientsAccording to the published pack listing, the sticks are made from wholewheat flour (80%), vegetable oils (sunflower and palm), a flavouring of yeast extract (barley), salt and vegetable extract (carrot), salt, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride and white pepper.Eighty per cent wholewheatWholewheat flour makes up 80% of the recipe, and the listing says the sticks are 80% wholegrain. Wholewheat flour is milled from the whole grain, bran and germ included, which gives the sticks their brown colour and nutty taste.The yeast extract flavourThe flavour of a Twiglet is yeast extract, made here from barley, with a little carrot extract and salt: the dark, savoury, slightly bitter taste of a yeast spread on toast.The knobbly shapeThe pack calls the shape distinctive and knobbly: each stick is irregular, with bumps along its length, so no two look quite the same and the flavouring collects in the crevices.Oven baked, not friedThe pack says the sticks are oven baked, not fried, for a light, crunchy bite. The sunflower and palm oils are part of the dough.Three saltsSalt, potassium chloride and magnesium chloride are all on the list. Potassium and magnesium chloride taste salty but contain no sodium, and the salt figure on a UK label is worked out from sodium.White pepperWhite pepper, the last ingredient, adds a gentle warmth behind the yeast flavour.Fibre and proteinThe wholewheat gives the sticks 11.3g of fibre per 100g and 2.8g in a 25g serving, and 12.4g of protein per 100g.Numbers for a servingThe label gives 105 kcal (442 kJ), 3.3g of fat, 0.5g of saturates, 14.3g of carbohydrate, 0.1g of sugars, 2.8g of fibre, 3.1g of protein and 0.3g of salt for a 25g serving. That is about 5% of an average adult's daily energy reference intake, 5% of the fat and 5% of the salt.Numbers per 100gPer 100g the label gives 421 kcal (1766 kJ), 13.4g of fat, 1.9g of saturates, 57g of carbohydrate, 0.5g of sugars, 11.3g of fibre, 12.4g of protein and 1.1g of salt.Reading the front of the packOn the UK front of pack scale, per 100g, fat at 13.4g, saturates at 1.9g and salt at 1.1g are amber, and sugars at 0.5g are green. There is no red on the scale.Magnesium chlorideMagnesium chloride is a mineral salt, often extracted from sea water. Like potassium chloride, it tastes salty without adding sodium, and it sits beside ordinary salt in the list.Carrot extractA little vegetable extract, from carrot, is part of the flavouring with the yeast extract and salt, adding a touch of sweetness and colour.SugarsSugar is not on the list. The label gives 0.5g of sugars per 100g and 0.1g in a serving, which comes from the flour.CarbohydrateThe label gives 57g of carbohydrate per 100g, almost all of it starch from the wholewheat flour.Sunflower and palmThe two oils, sunflower and palm, are part of the dough rather than a frying oil; the sticks are baked.SaltThe label gives 1.1g of salt per 100g, amber, and 0.3g in a 25g serving, about 5% of an adult's daily reference intake.Allergens and dietThe published ingredients highlight wholewheat and barley, both cereals containing gluten. The allergy advice says the sticks may also contain sesame seeds, milk, egg and mustard. The listing says they are suitable for vegetarians; no vegan claim is made, and they are not suitable for anyone avoiding gluten. Recipes and factory arrangements change, so check the allergy advice on the pack you receive.No artificial colours or flavoursThe listing says there are no artificial colours or flavours; the colour comes from the wholewheat and the yeast extract.Palm oilThe listing says the oil palm products in the sticks are certified to come from RSPO segregated sources.A sharing bagSix 25g servings make this a bag for a table, a party or a Christmas bowl. Once opened, the listing advises an airtight container.At ChristmasTwiglets are a Christmas bowl classic, beside nuts, Mini Cheddars and Treeselets.With drinksThe savoury, yeasty flavour suits a glass of ale, a dry cider or a tomato juice.On a cheese boardA few Twiglets on a cheese board beside a strong cheddar and a pickle add crunch and a savoury note.Who it suitsTwiglets suit anyone who likes a yeast extract flavour and a baked, wholewheat snack. They are not suitable for anyone avoiding gluten.With soupA few Twiglets beside a bowl of tomato or oxtail soup make a savoury, crunchy side.Standing upStand a handful in a glass on a party table, like breadsticks, so guests can take them one at a time.StorageThe listing gives the best before date on the front of the pack, advises a cool, dry place, and says to keep an opened bag in an airtight container.Other TwigletsWe also stock a 200g tube of Twiglets Mini, a festive caddy of smaller sticks.The tasting notes on this page are our own editorial assessment against the current pack format and the brand's published description. --- _Content available under crisps.biz citation contract.
