Savory Snacks
Savory snacks and vegetable chips
A film night, an evening with friends or a long car journey: these are the moments when we reach for something salty and crunchy. Classic potato crisps, however, get boring after a few handfuls and tend to leave you feeling heavy. That is why we have chosen savory snacks with a bold character that differ from the usual supermarket shelf in both ingredients and taste.
Here you will find vegetable chips, shiitake mushroom chips and spicy wasabi peanuts. It is a smaller but carefully chosen selection of products we genuinely enjoy.
Vegetable chips and shiitake mushroom chips
A popular alternative to potato crisps is vegetable chips. Slices of different vegetables naturally vary in colour and taste, so every handful is a little different, sometimes sweeter, sometimes gently earthy. These veggie chips go well with a dip, in a bowl on the table or as a crunchy topping for soup or salad.
Our mushroom chips made from shiitake have a stronger flavour. This Asian mushroom is known for its full, slightly meaty taste that Japanese cuisine calls umami. Shiitake chips therefore appeal even to people who are not big fans of ordinary crisps, and they pair superbly with beer or a dry white wine. You will find the ingredients and preparation method for both kinds on the product page.
Customers often ask us whether healthy chips really exist. To be honest, they are still a salty treat best enjoyed in moderation. Vegetables and mushrooms do offer a different taste and texture to potato crisps, though, and a smaller bag makes it easier to keep portions in check. If you are after healthy savory snacks, choose by the ingredients and salt content, which we list for every product.
Wasabi peanuts and salted nuts
For lovers of heat we stock wasabi peanuts. The crunchy coating with Japanese horseradish first tickles your nose and then gives way to the nutty flavour, which is exactly why they are so hard to put down. They go perfectly with beer, at parties or in an office bowl for colleagues who like bold flavours.
Classic salted nuts belong to any savory gathering too. In our nuts category you will find roasted salted Extra pistachios, cashews, Brazil nuts and pecans to build your own mix. If you like contrasts, add some sweet and salty nuts to the plate as well. Caramelised almonds with sea salt work surprisingly well next to wasabi.
Salty snacks for wine, beer and parties
When planning a spread, it pays to think about different flavours. A tried and tested combination looks like this:
- with white wine: vegetable chips and mild cashews,
- with red wine: shiitake chips and Brazil nuts,
- with beer: wasabi peanuts and salted pistachios,
- for a children's party: vegetable chips and dried fruit instead of candy.
Served like this, salty snacks will please your guests far more than one big bowl of crisps. For a larger party, we recommend setting out several smaller bowls with different kinds, so everything gets shared evenly and everyone finds something they like.
Savory snacks for travel and work
A light bag of chips or nuts fits easily into a backpack or a car door pocket. Savory snacks have the advantage of not melting or going soggy, so they last through a longer trip. At work they are a quick bite between meetings when lunch is still a long way off. We recommend pairing them with dried fruit, as salty and sweet balance each other and keep hunger away for longer.
Close an opened bag with a clip or tip the chips into a jar so they do not absorb moisture and stay crunchy. Do not leave them in the sun or near a radiator, because heat takes away their flavour.
How we choose our savory snacks
We only stock what we would happily put on our own table on an evening in. With chips we check that they are not over-salted and that you can taste the ingredient rather than just the seasoning. With wasabi peanuts we judge whether the coating holds together without crumbling and whether the heat is more than an empty effect. Every new product is tasted by our team first and compared with what we already sell, which is also why our selection of salty snacks is on the smaller side, but well thought through.
