Clearspring expands Flavours of Thailand range with three new products

Clearspring expands Flavours of Thailand range with three new products

Organic fine foods specialist Clearspring has added three new products to its popular Organic Thai range: Organic Gluten Free Black Rice Noodles, Organic Gluten Free 100% Brown Rice Vermicelli Noodles and a UK-first organic, gluten free and plant-based Pad Thai Sauce.

Clearspring Organic Gluten Free Black Rice Noodles are made using the finest quality wholegrain brown and black rice. Black rice is an ancient grain renowned for its delicate nutty flavour. It helps to give the noodles a firm texture and a beautiful, and unique colour which adds a vibrant contrast when paired with vegetables in Pad Thai, Asian soups and noodle salads. Black Rice Noodles are popular across Southeast Asia in a wide variety of savoury dishes.


Clearspring Organic Gluten Free 100% Brown Rice Vermicelli Noodles are a thin variety of rice noodles made in Thailand using organic wholegrain brown rice. The brown rice gives the noodles a firmer texture and delicate nutty flavour. Clearspring Organic Vermicelli Noodles are cut shorter, making them easier to cook with and enjoy. They are great at absorbing flavour, are ready in just 3 minutes and are perfect for creating sumptuous Asian soups, stir-fries and even sweet vermicelli puddings.

Vermicelli Noodles are popularly used in many international cuisines including Middle Eastern, African and especially Southeast Asian cooking, where they have been a staple for centuries.

Clearspring Organic Pad Thai Sauce is the UK’s first organic and vegan Pad Thai sauce. It’s easy to use to create a quick and sumptuous Pad Thai. It is packed full of flavour and perfectly captures the essence of a good Pad Thai sauce with beautiful savoury, tangy and sweet notes, whilst being added refined sugar free.

To ensure the sauce is vegan and free from refined sugar, Clearspring worked on perfecting the recipe by sourcing only the finest quality organic ingredients, including tamarind for the sweet and tangy notes, replacing the commonly used palm sugar with organic date syrup and replacing the frequently used fish sauce with a flavourful pinch of natural sea salt. Clearspring has also given the sauce some added depth and complexity with the addition of organic rice syrup and apple puree.

“We are very proud to finally introduce these three new additions to our Organic Thai range. Over the past few years, we have seen demand grow for our existing noodles from Thailand and wanted to offer our customers more choice in the category with the addition of two new noodles which perfectly complement our existing Thai products,” Maria Dawson, managing director at Clearspring, said.

“We are also thrilled that we are launching the UK’s first organic and vegan Pad Thai Sauce, which not only delivers on quality and flavour but is incredibly convenient for people looking to rustle up a filling and flavourful meal but are short on time.”

The trio of new products will join Clearspring’s existing Thai range, which includes Organic Gluten Free 100% Brown Rice Noodles and Organic Gluten Free 100% Brown Rice Wide Noodles.

Swizzels limited-edition Valentine’s Day treat

Sweet maker Swizzels has unveiled a brand-new limited-edition product in time for Valentine’s Day, combining two of its most-loved brands into one treat: Squashies Love Hearts.

Offering a fresh twist on two popular classics, the new Squashies Love Hearts combine Squashies’ signature soft texture with the iconic and timeless messages of Love Hearts.

Squashies remain the No. 1 sugar confectionery brand in the market, while Love Hearts see consistent growth, with 950,000 units sold during the Valentine’s period and a 10 per cent year-on-year growth in brand value. Building on this success, Swizzels has combined the two household names to create a fast-moving and profitable addition to any retailer’s offering.

Available in 120g bags and sold in cases of 12, each foam sweet is embossed with a fun message or emoji, making them ideal for sharing with a loved one. Messages include "KISS", "WOW", "FAB", and "LOVE", alongside two cheerful and romantic emojis, adding a playful touch.

With an MRSP of £1.15, the new product retains the classic colours and flavours of traditional Love Hearts, including Pineapple, Lime, Blackcurrant, Lemon, Cherry, and Orange.

Swizzels’ Love Hearts range remains a Valentine’s Day favourite, led by the popular 39g Giant Love Hearts rolls, which outsell any other Valentine’s SKU with 621,000 units sold during the season.



Other fan-favourites from the range include Love Hearts Originals Hanging Bags, the 15g mini Love Hearts rolls and Giant Love Hearts multipacks.

“We’re excited to introduce a delicious and innovative new product that combines two of our most popular brands, delivering the same moreish flavours and signature texture - with an added twist," said trade marketing manager Clare Newton.
