It all started with a climb up Mount Rainier in Washington State in August 2003. We had some beautiful views but nothing delicious to eat. The trail mix and stale nuts we brought on our trip helped to replenish lost energy, but did nothing to satisfy our desire for something great tasting, nutritious and as adventurous as our travels. That experience inspired us to create Sahale Snacks. We went back to our kitchens and created unique combinations of premium nuts, dried fruits, and interesting spices, each reflecting a beautiful location, culture and/or culinary tradition somewhere in the world. We use whole ingredients in their natural form -- such as cashews, almonds, pecans, pumpkin seeds, and peanuts -- and combine them with dried and preservative-free (unsulphured) fruits, then add fabulous ingredients like organic honey, lemongrass, balsamic vinegar, Moroccan harissa or pure ground Madagascar vanilla beans. They are all wholesome, delicious, conveniently packaged, and full of nutrition. Take us on your next adventure. Sahale Snacks – Snack Better™ Josh and Edmond
