Healthier Snacking With Humble Veggies

Our healthier snacking option starts with a cauliflower base. Indeed, cauliflower is on the rise, appearing in Michelin-starred and veg-forward restaurants alike. Although this pale cousin of broccoli was once overlooked, it is now revered as a healthy alternative to white rice and gluten-filled grains. In addition, we added earthy and sweet pasilla peppers, sweet potato, coconut milk, and sunflower oil. Three Natural Edlong Cheddar-type flavors contribute authentic cheesy richness, and a Butter-type flavor balances the heat and rounds the finished application to achieve the familiar nacho cheese profile. Overall, it’s a stellar creation for anyone aiming for snacking that’s healthier.
