Underrated: These 5 KoRo products should be in your pantry!

1. Lupin flour

Lupins belong to the sweet grass family, just like millet, oats, corn and wheat. Although you can eat lupins whole, for example pickled in brine, we would like to introduce you to something else: lupin flour. This is made from sweet lupins, a legume that is native to Germany and other countries. Despite their name, the seeds of the plant are not sweet - so you can use them in various dishes.

Our tip: lupin flour is great as an egg substitute for cakes or as a binding agent in patties. Simply add a tablespoon of lupin flour to the mixture - your creation will be fluffy, the dough will bind and it will also have a beautiful, slightly yellowish color, just like an egg.

A bonus for us all: at 40 g/100 g, lupin flour is a great source of plant-based protein.

2. Psyllium husks

Don't worry, it has nothing to do with fleas. The seeds, which originate from India, are so called because they are as small as fleas and their husk pops up as well as fleas!

The husks of psyllium seeds swell well in water and act as a binding agent. They give your porridge or yoghurt the right level of creaminess. Simply add a teaspoon of psyllium husks to your dish. Insider tip: The husks can also be mixed with cashews, yeast flakes, water, lemon juice and salt to make a super tasty vegan alternative to mozzarella.

Psyllium husks get bonus points for their fiber content: at 81 g/100 g, it's pretty impressive! If you forget to eat them, you can easily mix the husks into a glass of water and drink them.

3. White almond paste

Let's be honest: it's well known that our almond butter is irresistibly delicious. But did you know that you can not only spoon white almond butter straight onto bread, porridge and pancakes, but also use it to make savory sauces? We're just saying: summer rolls with white almond butter sauce as a slightly sweet, super creamy alternative to peanut butter. Summer rolls with almond butter dip are delicious all year round, but are especially refreshing in the warmer months.

And because KoRo really treats you: Our almond butter is not only a super creamy addition to your meals, but also a top source of protein at 27 g/100 g! What more could you want?

4. Oat kernels

Porridge, overnight oats - of course you know oat flakes, but we want to introduce you to something new: oat kernels. The parents, so to speak. Oat flakes are made from oat kernels.

They are real all-rounders. Whether it's a sweet breakfast, baking or a savory bowl: you can use oat kernels for everything - so they're a great pantry staple. And they keep for a long time too!

The benefit for you: a local ingredient (KoRo oat kernels come from Germany) that provides you with lots of protein (11 g/100 g) and fiber (9.7 g/100 g).

5. Edamame: roasted and salted

Food knowledge incoming: Edamame are nothing more than young soybeans.

We usually eat them steamed, but roasted and salted they are next level delicious! That's why these green pieces definitely belong in your kitchen cupboard.

The crunchy treats are a protein-rich, super crunchy alternative to potato chips - even if we don't want to talk you out of eating them. We also have a number of delicious candidates in our range. Nothing against oil and fried foods, but if you are looking for a low-fat alternative from time to time, you will find it here.

Otherwise, we recommend adding the roasted beans to your bowl or salad. Perfect if you don't want to steam edamame separately. Roasted and salted, you already have them in your cupboard and they add color, protein and fiber to your meal.

Have fun snacking!
