From the West Coast, Beanfields reinvented the familiar, triangular savory chips by using beans and rice instead, coated in the same flavors as its mainstream corn counterparts.
Also in the snack category is JicaChips, started by a New York couple, which is introducing the “Mexican turnip,” also known as jicama, as a snackable option for consumers looking for more fiber and fewer calories per serving than potato chips.

Finally, for avid bakers, Chicago-based Simple Mills offers an almond flour-based DIY dry mix for everything from cookies to pancakes, and recently launched a ready-to-eat line of savory snacks.
