The global snack market is undergoing a delicious transformation. Today’s consumers want healthier, crunchier, and more flavorful options—without compromising on convenience. And at the heart of this shift are traditional Indian roasted snacks like roasted peanuts and roasted chana (chickpeas)—reimagined for the modern palate.

At Mariska Impex, we’re not just following trends—we’re leading them. Here’s how we’re helping global brands tap into the new wave of clean-label, high-protein snacks.

🌎 1. The Global Rise of Healthy Snacking

As awareness about lifestyle diseases grows, people around the world are replacing fried and processed snacks with roasted alternatives. The demand for:

High-protein
Low-fat
Gluten-free
Vegan-friendly

snack options is rising—and roasted legumes fit the bill perfectly.

🥜 2. Why Roasted Peanuts & Chana Are Taking Off

✅ Nutritional Powerhouses

Roasted peanuts: Rich in protein, fiber, and healthy fats
Roasted chana: High in protein, low in fat, and great for digestion

✅ Shelf-Stable and Crunchy

These snacks don’t need refrigeration, making them ideal for global shipping and retail.

✅ Versatile Flavors

From classic salted to spicy masala, tangy lemon, peri peri, BBQ, and even chocolate-coated—flavor innovation is driving demand.

🧪 3. Customization Is the Key

At Mariska Impex, we offer full customization to match local tastes:

Flavored roasted chana in regional spice blends
Coated peanuts with seasoning layers (sweet/spicy/sour)
Packaging options: 30g, 100g, 250g, and bulk

Whether you’re an importer, private label brand, or supermarket—we’ll customize the taste, packaging, and labeling just for your market.

📦 4. Flexible Supply Options: From Small Orders to Private Labels

We understand that not all buyers need a full container of snacks. That’s why we offer:

LCL shipments for low-volume buyers
Retail-ready packaging for instant shelf placement
Private label services for brand owners
Fast sample dispatch and support

We recently delivered flavored roasted chana to the UK in an LCL container—proof that small quantities can still make a big impact.

🔍 5. Snacks With Clean Labels and Trust

Consumers care about what's in their snacks. We ensure:

No artificial colors
No harmful preservatives
Roasted, not fried
Clean ingredient list
Export documentation with lab reports

Every batch is tested, verified, and shipped with confidence.

🚀 Looking Ahead: What’s Next in Healthy Snacking?

We're currently developing:

Trail mix combinations (nuts + seeds + dried fruits)
Jaggery-coated chana and peanuts
Spice mix sachets to pair with snacks
Combo packs for export retailers

The possibilities are endless—and we’re ready to create the next big snack trend with you.

“Global snacking is evolving. Clean, crunchy, and protein-rich snacks are the future—and we’re ready to deliver them, your way.”
