Flavor inspiration is abundant and often takes cues from beloved cuisines from around the world, as seen in Mitsuba's Streetfood Snack Mix range, which includes unique varieties like Coconut & Peanut Satay Style. This MSG-free snack is a crunchy blend of peanuts and crunchy rice snacks with the comforting, tropical essence of coconut and peanut satay that pays tribute to a favorite Indonesian dish.
Alongside its Coconut & Peanut Satay Style flavor, Mitsuba offers its Streetfood Snack Mix in other globally inspired varieties like Beef Noodles Style, a homage to Vietnam, and an award-winning, mildly spicy Thai Green Curry Style. Across the board, these internationally influenced snacks are vegetarian-friendly and free from palm oil.
