Salty nuts have long been a classic bar snack, but they're getting a modern upgrade with gourmet flavors from LAMA's clean-label brand Tuffnut. Created to redefine the nut snack experience for pub-goers, Tuffnut shares all-natural skinless almonds and cashews in next-level flavors like Salt & Vinnies, Truffle in Paradise and Smoky Paprika Pop almonds, or Mango Chutney Munchies, Hot Shot Wasabi and Chilli Citrus Smash cashews.
"Tuffnut is for those who want indulgent, 100% natural healthy snacks without compromise—bold flavors, and a texture-first eating experience," said Co-founder Michael Epstein, "Unlike most competitors, we don’t use oil roasting, meaning Tuffnut is a premium cleaner label option in the congested and same old same snack category.”
