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.

Tasty and made with great ingredients. Will def buy again!
My family and I love these snacks. They are so delicious and full of nutritious ingredients! I have a hard time finding snacks that have clean ingredients, no sugar and taste great and these fit the bill! These are our new favorite goto snack.
I love them! I recommend them to everyone. Thanks for bringing back a childhood favorite snack that’s on the healthier side.
We found these on a recent trip to Austin and have been ordering them ever since. Love the clean ingredients and they are delicious!!
Ordered more after getting some in a gift box. These things are yum. Will keep these stocked!
The self-control is hard when you have Nemi. I wish there was a huge bag size but then I would probably eat half of it in one sitting lol. I hope one day Nemi will be in Oklahoma and I could get them at the store near me.
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.
