Soy and Baru Snack
Medium
Makes: 60 snacks
I owe this idea to Ivan Raga, our creative photographer. He said,"make me somethig with soy or whiskey. Something I can pour soy or whiskey on during the shot!" and this came up! Baru is a seed that is native in the Amazon and is being cultivated to avoid deforestation and create extra revenue for those communities. I really love the product and the project. Therefore, I decided to use Baru with soy and Thai curry for the crunch and the spicy notes. It is fabulous! Having the chance to exchange, take ideas from others and push the boundaries bring such great products!
