For snackers who crave a crunch, this is the healthy alternative to a cloyingly sweet nut brittle. Plus, it doesn’t get stuck in your teeth. Quinoa grain, puffs and flakes are roasted for crunch in Buffalo Grove to bring out the grain’s nutty flavor, then spiced up with extras like chocolate and sea salt or cranberry and cashew.

Find them: Whole Foods, Sunset Foods, Treasure Island, Potash Bros., Walgreens and online at Abe’s Market.
