About Yummies
Yummies is Dinant's snack food brand, launched in 1973 when the company installed an industrial chip cooker able to fry 175 pounds of product at a time and began slicing plantains into its first chips. It has since grown into a family of plantain, corn and wheat-based salty snacks marketed under names including Gorditos, Anillitos and Xixi, and Dinant's own snack microsite, snacksyummies.com, describes it as a leader across Central America and the Dominican Republic.
