Origin Story: This release is the latest effort from the Lay’s Flavor Department to push “tuber diversification” in their snack lineup, following the experimental path paved by the recently published yam series from China. Lime was chosen to cut through the dense, earthy creaminess of the taro, adding a bright, citrusy contrast. Some are claiming that this marks a bold step in the evolution of root-based flavors. Are they right?
