Chamoy in a cup with cucumber, coconut and other fruits

How Do You Make Summer Snacks Taste More Interesting?

Start with contrast. Cold fruit, crunchy vegetables, yogurt, popcorn, chips, and snack trays all get
better when something sweet, tangy, salty, spicy, creamy, or crisp breaks up the sameness.
That is one reason our chamoy mix works so well here. It brings sweet-tart flavor, salt, and a little
heat, which works especially well on fruit and cold snacks. It is also a premium blend that is
convenient to keep on hand, versatile enough to use dry or prepared, and not the kind of flavor
most people are picking up in a regular grocery run.


Three easy ways to wake up a snack

  1. Add contrast,
    Fruit gets better with something tangy and salty. Crunchy snacks pair well with a creamy dip. Cold snacks often need a little zip.
  2. Keep the base simple,
    Watermelon, mango, cucumber, popcorn, yogurt, crackers, vegetables, and chips all give you an easy place to start.
  3. Build up your own personalized Snack cups, trays, and little bowls work well because everyone can season or top things to taste.


Where chamoy fits


This is one reason Shawhan Farms Chamoy Sauce Mix | 1.5 oz (3 pack) is useful to keep around.
You can use it dry when you want a lighter finish, or prepare it as a sauce when you want
something bolder. That flexibility makes it easy to use on fruit, snack trays, and refreshing treats.


Try This First


• sprinkle it lightly over watermelon or mango
• use prepared chamoy on fruit cups
• add it to a yogurt dip for fruit
• rim glasses for aguas frescas or mocktails
• set it out with cut fruit and let everyone season their own

 


The Takeaway


Simple snacks do not need much. The right contrast can change the whole plate, and our chamoy
mix gives you an easy way to do that with a flavor profile that is premium, versatile, and a lot more
distinctive than the usual snack seasoning.
