When I left my home in Mexico City for Chicago, one of the first things I did was go to the grocery store.
I remember going into the "ethnic aisle" and feeling lost. I didn't see anything that portrayed the Mexico I knew. There were rows of old school “Mexican” brands—sometimes US-owned—rooted in clichés of food and culture. Little health or freshness, all sombreros.
I created Nemi Snacks to share un poquito de México with you and bring you a taste of the liveliness, colors and joy of my cultura with a sombrero-free branding.
Our food traditions are rooted in familia, from mi abuela’s cocina to ancestors harvesting in Aztec villages. The old ways sustained body, soul and planet, and we return to that indigenous genius in our simple, real food recipes.
That’s why we took Nemi’s name from “to live” in Náhuatl, the language of the Aztecs. Food is love and life, and we want ours to be nourishing to your body and fresh in every way possible.
We have the opportunity to create more than a snack. A good business should be good to the community. From our farmers to our social feed to your salad, we want Nemi to be sustainable and delicioso in all ways.
We partner with small independent Mexican farmers using sustainable farming techniques. Meet Francisco and his certified organic farm!
We work with womxn of color who hold positions usually reserved for men to build greater economic independence and equity.
We provide a monthly donation to a local nonprofit committed to food justice.
Let customers speak for us
The best chips and snacks on this planet. I love that they don’t taste like anything familiar and have their own unique flavor profile and crunch . Thank you Regina
Healthy crunchy spicy and satisfying, and you can carry it around.

WE WERE SURPRISED TO RECEIVE OUR BOX OF NOPALES DAMAGED, MY HUSBAND POINTED IT OUT TO THE CARRIER, HE JUST SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS, SOME BAGS WERE CRUSHED.
I’ve always had a craving for junk food, but in my quest for a healthier lifestyle I gave a try to Nemi Snacks. Wow!!!!! They are delicious and have been a game changer on transforming my snacking habit. It is a delicious and nutritious snacking experience.
they’re really good- even my picky teen likes them. they’re full of protein and taste like tajin.
Text too long to ship and get here though
I am addicted to crunch flavor and healthy! These GMO snacks are perfect for empowering all the bodies needs including enjoyment! THANK YOU!!!
Forget the healthier side of these for a sec. These sticks are some of the tastiest snacks ever!! Then they also happen to be vegan and grain free with a decent amount of good fiber.
The churro sticks are a nice crunchy snack, and not too sweet! Very good balance of flavor
I loved Nemi Snacks back when I tried them in 2020 but had forgotten about them until I saw them pop up again on a podcast. I love the Churro flavor for a crunchy and slightly sweet fix! Totally crave-able!
They are the best snacks to eat on the go. They taste great but don’t have all the calories that chips do yet they are salty/crunchy and taste great. They hit the spot!! Highly recommend
