Snac Atac Cornado Tomato Blast Review- Crunchy Corn Cones

Snacks. Movie marathon, lazy evenings, mid-meal nibbles. 

If you’re lowkey bored of potato-based snacks, may we suggest a fun form of another vegetable? That is also a whole grain, AND a fruit.

It’s corn we’re talking about. During our weekly research of new product launches, we came across these crunchy corn-based snacks that reminded us of the UAE-specials. Cornado’s Snac Atac is a range of corn-based crunchy cones that are offered in three flavors.

For our Snac Atac Cornado Tomato Blast review, we ordered a tin of the Tomato Blast variant, and here’s all you need to know before getting your hands on it.

We scanned the ingredient list and other information provided before commencing the taste test. This corn-based snack is prepared with non-GMO ingredients and rock salt.

What are non-GMO ingredients?

Crops that haven’t been altered genetically via scientific processes like DNA manipulation and others are called non-GMO or GMO-free ingredients. 

These corn-based cones are cap-shaped and we can see specs of seasoning. 

Taste-wise, this was addictive! There’s a delectable blend of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors. All of these are in sync, and no one flavor is too overpowering or too subtle. Additionally, the characteristic flavor of corn could be tasted as well. 

The fact that it did not have any undesirable oily taste or mouthfeel is appreciated. 

But what we liked even better- the BOLD BOLD crunch. This intense crunch speaks of the freshness too. As suggested by the brand, these corn cones would make for a great pair with creamy dips and tangy salsa, owing to this crisp texture.
