Emerald® Nuts Launches Four Bold New Cashew Flavors

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Snack time is about to get a little bit nuttier with the launch of Emerald's new line of cashews. Bold flavor profiles like Dill Pickle, Jalapeño, Sriracha and Salt & Pepper are sure to tantalize even the most discriminating taste buds.  

Emerald believes that snack time should be a fun, exciting break in the day – and these yummy flavor combinations help people create that experience. Each variety combines the buttery crunch of Emerald Cashews with a unique blend of spices and ingredients:

• Dill Pickle Cashews: Crisp and tangy dill pickle flavor, with a touch of garlic seasoning
• Jalapeño Cashews: Zesty, with the spicy bite of a jalapeño pepper
• Sriracha Cashews: Spicy red chili and garlic with a hint of vinegar
• Salt & Pepper Cashews: A classic combination of salt and fresh ground pepper
