There are plenty of hummus snacks on the market that boast vibrant Mediterranean flavors, but Yumami is introducing a refreshing alternative with its Go-Dip Snack Packs.
Rather than pairing hummus with pitas or salted crackers, the Go-Dip sets feature popped nori chips alongside bold flavors like Adzuki Bean Ginger Ponzu and Edamame Green Pea Wasabi. As each dip boasts some sort of legume at its base, the snacks boast between six and seven grams of plant-based bean protein—which makes them higher in both protein and fiber than most chickpea-based hummus spreads.
These Asian-inspired hummus snacks from Yumami are an example of just one snack that plays with a fusion of foods and flavors across cultures.
