About Orígenes
Orígenes is Diana's health-oriented snack line, described on the company's own site as fat-free, gluten-free and low in sodium — a deliberately different positioning from the rest of Diana's fried salty-snack portfolio. The name, meaning "origins," is used by the company to frame the range as a return to simpler, more natural snack ingredients.
