While dairy ingredients can play a big part in enhancing a dip's flavor and textures, Dipnotics is out to prove that vegan dips can be just as satisfying and even more nutritious when plant-based ingredients are used.
The brand produces two base dip types, including one from edamame and a 'NOT-YO-CHEESE' dip made from a base of cashews. These bases are built upon with a range of flavors, including garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, cilantro, peppers and sesame.
Dipnotics uses bold colors, humor and quirky phrases to differentiate itself as an alternative dip maker on the market. For instance, as it states on the side of its product package sleeves, the brand promises that all of its vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free products are designed to "blow your mouth's mind."
