Departure Snacks offers consumers something more than conventional spicy, sweet and salty nut flavors with its trio of globally inspired seasoned snacks. The three kinds of dry-roasted almonds that can be found in the brand's Global Explorer Pack include flavors like Argentinian Chimichurri, Ethiopian Berbere and Mediterranean Za'atar.
The savory Mediterranean Za'atar almonds combine fresh thyme, ground sumac and toasted sesame for a tangy, herbal combination that references one of the world's most ancient spice blends. Similarly, the Argentinian Chimichurri snacks pair herbaceous parsley and oregano with lemon for a fresh and zesty taste, while the Ethiopia-inspired Berbere Dry Roasted Almonds boast a warm, sweet and spicy flavor that builds heat with smoked paprika, mild chilies, cardamom, ginger and clove.
