Popped water lily seed snacks have been consumed in India for thousands of years, but this better-for-you version of puffed cheese snacks is just beginning to make its way to the North American market thanks to brands like Bohana.
Bohana is reinventing the healthy superfood snack for modern consumers with flavor-focused varieties like Wild White Cheddar, Himalayan Pink Salt and Soulful Spice. The puffed snacks are air popped for a light and crunchy texture, which only serves to make their protein-packed benefits all the more appealing to consumers. On top of this, the snacks are free of the top eight allergens and directly support the farmers working in Bihar, India, who source the water lily seeds, with fair wages and an ethical, collaborative supply chain.
