WIN a Fairtrade Hamper and Signed Harry Hill Goodies

Crunchlunch — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 21:39:18 +0000

To help spread the word about Harry’s Nuts! , the Fairtrade salted nutty snacks from TV’s Harry Hill, we have a competition with a whole host of fantastic foodie prizes!

Harry’s Nuts! are popular for their taste – they are cooked for longer than other salted peanuts and cashews to give them an extra crunchiness and deeper flavour. They have been backed by celebrity food writer Sophie Grigson who says: “The peanuts have a very appealing creamy texture and a delicious sweet, rounded flavour enhanced by just the right degree of salt.” There are currently two varieties: salted peanuts and salted cashews.

Harry Hill works with Fairtrade nut company Liberation Foods on Harry’s Nuts! and makes no money for the products for himself. He launched the products after travelling to Malawi and meeting some of the peanut farmers, many of whom are women looking after Aids orphans. They told him that the benefits which come with Fairtrade are a huge help to them.

Liberation Foods was established with financial help from Comic Relief and other charities to help smallholder nut farmers trade their way out of poverty. Its biggest shareholder is a co-operative of nut farming and gathering organisations and the company is run for their benefit. Harry, a big peanut lover, says: “These Fairtrade salted nuts are an extra tasty version of my favourite snack and there’s no money in it for me (what a mug!). I’m working with Liberation and it’s great that the company is run to benefit the farmers and their families.”

Harry’s Nuts! can be bought at Tesco Metros, Superstores and Extras, 350 of the biggest Sainsbury’s stores (and on-line) , all Waitrose stores (and on-line), via Ocado, at The People’s Supermarket and from other retailers, cafes and bars. Harry has just launched his next product, Harry’s Nuts! Crunchy Peanut Butter which is available at larger branches of Sainsbury’s.
