Snack dips by Wonky are made with perfectly good fruits and vegetables that are seen as too small, too large or misshapen by supermarkets, which makes them seem less than perfect and difficult to sell. The brand rescues produce like avocados, cauliflower and carrots and gives them a new purpose as nutritious snacks—and thanks to their blended consistencies, there's no telling what the original fruits and vegetables looked like.
While Wonky's Paprika Dip is made with 54% rescued bell peppers, and some of the brand's other snack dips boast similar percentages, the Cauliflower Truffle Dip sets itself apart with a recipe that contains 71% rescued cauliflower. For those who love a touch of spice, there's the Wonky Carrot Dip, which is savory, fibrous and full of flavor from the addition of Moroccan spices.
