Dips & Spreads
More and more Americans are snacking as part of their everyday eating pattern. The standard three meals a day—breakfast, lunch and dinner—has morphed into four to six eating occasions within a 24-hour period. These smaller more frequent meals present opportunities for the development of snacking foods.
Dips and spreads fit snugly into the snacking trend as stand-alone items or as a complementary component that adds flavor and appeal to your appetizer and other applications. At Sargento Food Ingredients, we give you the versatility to customize dips and spreads with the flavor profile and functionality that meets your project specifications. Our culinary and R&D experts will work with you to ideate and create dips and spreads with today’s trends in mind.
