Ready-cooked meal

TIU

TIU is a crunchy appetizer, perfect with a refreshing drink or as a complement to your meal.

From Spain we present TIU, a new healthy snack that could be part of the food of the future. We bring a simple yet a powerful concept: a pickled preparation of a succulent Mediterranean wild plant that was once consumed by the shepherd believed to have healing properties. Additional to its mysticism, it possesses great resilience to droughts and elevated temperatures. Getting inspired by this ancient recipe, we designed four different tastes: classic, citric, garlic, and exotic. Through haute cuisine techniques, we have achieved an unparalleled crispy texture and streamlined the pickling process. Our proposal joins local tradition with innovation to overcome some of today’s challenges as climate change and sustainable agriculture. Everyone can benefit from the Mediterranean diet and the vivid Spanish gastronomy. TIU is highly versatile take it on its own or combine it to your liking with your favourite dish. Enjoy a full explosion of flavour in your mouth with TIU, your crunchy chew!
