Hodo Dips Made with Soybeans
The dairy-free dips are available in three varieties including Sambal Sweet Chili, Chili Crisp and Zesty Lemon
Hodo, a brand used by Michelin-star chefs and home cooks alike, launched a line of dips to level up snacks and dishes. Thinking beyond chickpeas, almonds and cashews, the product developers created the new dips feature an unexpected primary ingredient: creamy organic soybeans. The soybean ingredients provide the base of the line. All three dips: Sambal Sweet Chili Dip, Chili Crisp Dip and Zesty Lemon Dip are dairy-free, nut-free, and made with premium, simple ingredients.
The dips contain strong aromatics like spicy peppers, earthy mushrooms, and sweet roasted garlic are blended with organic soybeans. Available at Whole Foods nationwide ($5.99 for 8oz) these plant-based dips are nut-free, gluten free, non-GMO, organic and climate-friendly.
Variety details:
Chili Crisp Dip: Inspired by Sichuan cuisine, this is a serious umami bomb. Tingly with a hint of spice thanks to shallots, chili flakes, Sichuan peppercorns, and shiitake mushrooms.
Sambal Sweet Chili Dip: Our own fiery take on sambal is smoky and slightly sweet with a kick. Chili peppers, caramelized onions, and tomato come together for this deeply flavorful dip.
Zesty Lemon Dip: Creamy and bright with a touch of sweetness and zing. This dip features roasted garlic and tangy citrus.
According to the company, organic soybeans are an Earth-friendly amongst plant-based dips, besting the chickpeas, almonds and cashews proliferating the category. Soybeans use less than a tenth of water that almonds do and provide the highest usable grams of protein per acre of any crop (Bastyr University). The nitrogen-fixing abilities of soybeans also help restore soil health.
