Nemi Snacks

What Nemi Snacks does

Nemi Snacks (legal entity: Nemi Native Foods LLC) is a Chicago-based, Latina-owned consumer packaged goods brand founded in 2019 that manufactures plant-based crunchy snack sticks made primarily from nopales (prickly pear cactus), amaranth, chia, and pea protein, flavored with Mexican-inspired spice profiles. The product line comprises five core 6-pack SKUs — Pickled Jalapeño, Smoky Chipotle, Mexican Lime, Chile Turmeric, and Churro Cinnamon — supplemented by higher-AOV bundle packs (Fiesta 12-pack at $39.99, Savory 15-pack at $49.99, Quiero Todo 10-pack at $33.50). Each serving is approximately 150 calories with ~6g plant protein, fiber, and no added sugar, and nopales are sourced from a certified organic and regenerative farm.

The company's commercial model is direct-to-consumer via a Shopify storefront at neminative.com with free shipping above $30 and a Recurly-powered Subscribe and Save subscription, complemented by a wholesale channel serving physical retailers tracked through a Dathic store locator; marketing is run through social media (Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok), a blog, email, a community ambassador program, and earned media in Shape, Well + Good, and Forbes. Target customers are split between health-conscious snackers seeking plant-based, allergen-free crunch and Mexican-culture consumers seeking authentic, non-stereotypical culinary representation. Two CPG-validator accelerator programs have been completed — Target Takeoff (July 2021) and PepsiCo Greenhouse (July 2024, $20,000 award) — with no institutional venture capital disclosed. As of January 2026, Nemi Snacks merged with Todo Verde (seasoning blends) and Tuyyo Foods (powdered beverage platform) under the Tuyyo Foods name, with combined headquarters in Los Angeles, California, while the Nemi Snacks DTC site continued to operate at time of data capture. Headcount sits in the 11-50 range.
