This is so innovative! There's a new all-veg rice option in town, and it’s shelf stable and ready to go: Just drain, heat, and chew! It’s made from hearts of palm, and you can use it any place you’d use ordinary rice: soup, side dishes, casseroles… You name it. If you're already a fan of Palmini's hearts of palm pasta, you can expect the same taste and texture. If you're new to
the Palmini line, consider this a golden opportunity to catch up!

(Imagine if corn chips & Corn Chex had a baby!)

We're big fans of the original savory flavors of these popped snacks, so we flipped when the new sweet varieties hit store shelves. In
Sweet Cinnamon Drizzle and
Sea Salt Chocolatey Drizzle, one serving of these puffs is half the bag -- volume snackers, rejoice! We love the combination of the light & crunchy texture with the slightly sweet topping. Order from the Bohana site... You can even get a
variety pack! And if you live in the Northeast,

And coming soon in 2021... Vegan Babybel! Word on the web is that the wax-covered wheels we all love are getting a plant-based little sister. It’s not out yet, but we just had to share the exciting news... We'll let you know more as soon as WE know more!
