Bhd, a locally established spice and snacks manufacturer, announces the launch of their new and innovative baked food series under the brand name \u201cMinni\u201d which is set to change the norm on typical snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its new brand, \u201cMinni\u201d, is derived from both founders\u2019 last names \u201cMin\u201d and \u201cNi\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Minni offers premium and flavourful baked leisure food made from high-quality yellow peas as its main ingredient. Its leisure food series are all baked instead of using the fried method. The team behind the brand wanted to ensure that its food offers a healthier alternative for consumers on the go who want a quick bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\" id=\"attachment_41301\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.minimeinsights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/minni.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41301\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.7503566333808844;width:840px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image credit: Minimeinsights.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Minni currently offers three authentic and spicy flavours \u2013 Korean Spicy, Tangy Spicy and Tomato BBQ. Non-spicy variants will be introduced in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMinni\u2019s initial range of spicy flavours is the result of our extensive research on consumers\u2019 current preferences. Many of them, especially younger consumers, prefer the spicy variant. Of course, we are working on introducing more non-spicy flavours in the future,\u201d explained Calvin Koh, the founder of GT Spice Manufacturers Sdn. Bhd. He added that Minni is vegan-friendly and gluten-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Minni is a new brand with a different positioning than the other brand \u201cKacang Macha\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMinni offers leisure baked food series while Kacang Macha offers the extruded fried yellow pea (murukku) range. Our other brand 1001Rempah carries a wide variety of spices mainly for cooking and flavouring,\u201d shares Calvin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Planned Future for Minni<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GT Spice Manufacturers launched the Minni Baked Leisure Food series at the Selangor International Business Summit at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre from 6 to 9 October 2022. The international summit will be one of their strategies to introduce the brand to the local markets, especially lifestyle retail chains such as EMART24, MIX.MY, B.I.G, Jaya Grocers, Village Grocers, and the international ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile we penetrate the local market this year, we are also targeting to expand to the South East Asian region market by 2023 followed by the European market by 2024,\u201d Calvin shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>GT Spice Manufacturers Satisfying the Local Palates Since 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GT Spice Manufacturers Sdn Bhd was founded in 2015 as an ode to Calvin\u2019s father and the time spent with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI remember spending a lot of time with my father, who brings us to buy&nbsp;<em>kacang putih<\/em>&nbsp;whenever we head back to Seremban during the weekends. The&nbsp;<em>kacang putih<\/em>&nbsp;was sold by an uncle who goes around selling his snacks at the iconic Seremban Lake Gardens,\u201d shared Calvin. He mentioned that his father and the uncle had built a strong bond throughout the years. Whenever his father wind down the window of his car, the uncle would ask, \u201cKacang, Macha?\u201d and that became the inspiration behind the brand \u201cKacang Macha\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The uncle gave his father one murukku recipe before he retired, and Calvin stumbled upon the recipe after his father\u2019s passing in 2009. His family was dabbling in spice powder trading while Calvin worked as a banker then. At that point, Calvin was at a crossroad, and he decided to take the plunge and went full-time into manufacturing spices and murukku upon finding the murukku recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The business soared and now there are two companies under their umbrella \u2013 the GT Spice Manufacturers Sdn Bhd (manufacturing arm) and GT Snack and Spice Distributors Sdn Bhd (distribution and marketing arm).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Minni, Kacang Macha and 1001Rempah can be purchased online via the official website&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/gtsgroup.my\/\">http:\/\/gtsgroup.my\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minni sets to attract the younger and trendier market with its healthy leisure baked goods that satisfy palates both locally and internationally intending to put Malaysia\u2019s yums on the global food map.
