Discover Marty's Cracklin' – a snack that revolutionized the world of Asian chips. This product from the Filipino brand Oishi is proof that tradition and innovation can go hand in hand, offering consumers a vegetarian alternative to the beloved Filipino *chicharon*. Marty's Cracklin' is a masterpiece of flavour and texture engineering – a crispy, light cracker created from dried peas and potatoes.

The Salted ("Plain Salted") variant is the quintessence of simplicity that captivates with authenticity. It is a tribute to classic flavours, where perfectly balanced saltiness plays the leading role. However, it's not just salt – subtle notes of garlic and spices are detectable in the background, adding depth to the snack and making it incredibly addictive.

The Oishi brand, responsible for Marty's Cracklin', is an icon in the Filipino snack market. Founded by Liwayway Marketing Corporation, Oishi (which, as you know, means "delicious" in Japanese) has been a leading producer in Southeast Asia for years. Oishi is famous for its ability to adapt and innovate, bringing the flavours of the Filipino street into bags of crispy snacks. By choosing Marty's Cracklin', you are selecting a product with history that perfectly captures the spirit of Filipino culinary culture.

Chicharon, regardless of the version, is more than just a snack in the Philippines – it is a social element, often served as pulutan (a beer snack), a companion to family gatherings and festivals. Marty's Cracklin' from peas allows you to enjoy this social tradition without dietary restrictions. You can crunch it solo, straight from the bag, or use it as a crunchy topping for soups, salads, or even rice dishes like lugaw or arroz caldo, where its texture and salted flavour wonderfully contrast with the creamy base.

This salted variant has a relatively lower sugar content (only 2g per 100g) compared to many other Asian snacks, which will delight those who appreciate more savoury flavours. The 90g packaging provides the perfect portion for sharing with friends or for enjoying alone during a movie night. Reach for Marty's Cracklin' Salted and transport yourself to sunny Manila, discovering a crispy, plant-based tradition straight from the Philippines.
