We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Ireland is fast becoming a truly fantastic place for foodies in search of delicious, freshly produced products.
We’re known worldwide for our dairy and beef yeah, but other produce that is being created in the past few years is exciting and healthy and Oh My Lord amaze.
From organic seed sprinkles to artisan snacks, the Irish foodie scene has taken on a new growth with a focus on organic food that is actually good your health.
Here’s the 12 products we’re absolutely loving right now – we can’t get enough of these in our kitchens.
1. Leaves Buckwheat & Chickpea Pasta
This pastas has legit THREE ingredients in it: Buckwheat, Chickpea and Water, so it’s definitely one of the most natural pastas you can buy.
It’s also wheat free so perfect if your gluten intolerant, and there’s a garlic flavour which adds a nice little kick.
