The snack market is expanding as consumers seek out ways to satisfy their preference for smaller meals over larger ones, which is seeing new products like the Hola Nola Foods Red Beans & Rice Chips come about.
The chips are made with Camellia Brand red beans along with whole grain rice and Crystal hot sauce, which work together to create a satisfying snack that's inspired by Mexican cuisine. The snack chips come packaged in a bag that's microwaveable to let consumers experience fresh, warm chips whenever they want without having to leave the house or utilize an oven.
The Hola Nola Foods Red Beans & Rice Chips were explained by the founder of the brand, Kevin S. Holden, who said, "We wanted to marry the growing interest in traditional Mexican ingredients with a classic local dish. Everyone loves red beans and rice made with Camellia beans because they’re the most flavorful, and Crystal hot sauce adds just the right heat."
