What: Founder Kevin Harvie wanted to create a crisp that added flavour to people’s lives while using the best natural ingredients – thus Hectares was born. The crisps are made from sweet potatoes which are grown and hand-picked in North Carolina, USA.

The Lowdown: The team at Hectares decided to source their sweet potatoes from North Carolina because they believe they contain the perfect balance of sweetness and provide a consistent, high quality supply. The crisps are gluten-free, hand cooked in hi-oleric sunflower oil, and are naturally high in fibre. The chorizo with sun dried tomato flavour is a smashing afternoon snack.
