Anytime is snack time for us, as long as they’re the healthful, guilt-free, delectable snacks we crave.
Enter The Daily Crave, a company whose first product was churros, the well-loved Spanish treat; followed by diversification in the form of classic puff snacks and chips.
They’ve abandoned the traditional list of ingredients: the grains are gone, replaced by lentils, pulses, and cassava, slaking our craving with vegan-friendly, gluten-free snacks that satisfy.
We’re featuring The Daily Crave Bourbon BBQ Quinoa Chips and Spicy Sriracha Lentil Chips.

We’re spotlighting a remarkable contender in the glorious quest for the ideal snack that satisfies both the need for dietary caution and the cravings of serious advanced-level snackers: a visionary food company known as Unreal, which was started by two brothers who’d grown up under the pall of a parental prohibition of their favourite treats.
Unreal goes against the mainstream with pure ingredients and less sugar, and big, bold flavours that anyone can enjoy, even parents.
This month, we’re featuring vegan-friendly Unreal Dark Chocolate Coconut Bars.

Farmer Direct Organic is an American co-op comprising farmers, processors, and distributors of grains and pulses deemed organic through very strict certification.
Farmers started up when most of the certified organic products consumed in the U.S. were imported, much to their chagrin. The conflict started with unfair pricing and ended with unverifiable claims of organic status, taboo in the organics community. Suffice it to say that Farmers is serious about organics!
Try Farmers Direct Organic Split Green Peas, and Black and Split Red Lentils.
