Here Here Market brings to you a collection of our favorite products by Hispanic creators, incorporating the rich flavor profiles and recipes shared by those of Hispanic heritage.
Regina, Nemi Snacks
Regina grew up in Mexico and when she moved to Chicago, one of the first things she did was go to the grocery store to scout for Mexican products. She went into the “ethnic aisle” and felt unrepresented as she didn’t find products portraying Mexico as she knew it. Instead, she noticed brands showcasing Mexico in a stereotypical way and with little opportunity for innovation. Regina created Nemi Snacks to share and elevate the flavors, colors and pride of Mexican culture.
Raoul Benavides, Heart Soul Heat
Heart Soul Heat is on a mission to change the idea of what 100% American looks and tastes like. Raoul Benavides, Founder & CEO, is the son of Mexican immigrants. His grandfather, a big inspiration for the brand, started a candy company in Monterrey Mexico in 1940. He is passionate about sweet and spicy combinations. Ghost Honey, a clean three ingredient condiment, is an extremely versatile spicy honey that pairs wonderfully with fried foods, grilled meats, fresh fruit, roasted veggies and even ice cream.
Joline, Eat Your Greens
Joline has been breaking barriers since childhood. She defied the odds of her background, becoming financially independent by 18, becoming the first person in her Mexican-American family to earn a BA in graphic design and a master’s degree in advertising design, both while working full-time. After realizing the significant proposed health benefits in the cannabis industry, she founded Red Belly Honey based on such a premise; she knows first hand that taking charge of your health can be life-changing and empowering.
Eli, That Taco Guy
Eli's passion for cooking started as a young child when he would spend hours in the kitchen with his mom, and this inspired him to start his own food truck to offer his home-cooked, unique taco combinations to the community. The love and laughter that would fill his mom's kitchen has fueled his drive to bring that joy to everyone who eats at their truck, sharing their family recipe for candied jalapeño with its patrons and jarring them to share with the world.
