  Nemi means "to live" in the Aztec language and we live for cravingly crunchy and addictive snacks. Inspired by my native Mexico, we make deeply deliciosos snacks with nopales (a.k.a prickly pear paddle) and seeds (amaranth, chia, flaxseeds) in Mexican-inspired flavors using real spices and chiles straight outta the cocina! Artificial stuff? Nada. A staple of Mexican cuisine, nopales are fiber-rich and packed with gut-friendly fiber. Nopales are considered the most sustainable Mexican plant as they thrive on hot weather, need little water to survive and don't need pesticides. We work directly with Mexican farmers, woman of color and provide monthly donations to a local nonprofit committed to food justice. Nemi Snacks' mission is to elevate Mexican cultura by sharing high-quality snacks through "non-stereotypes" branding (no sombreros amigxs!) Show less
