Article · Español
Los snacks o aperitivos son un tipo de alimento que generalmente se utilizan para satisfacer temporalmente el hambre, proporcionar una mínima cantidad de energía para el cuerpo o simplemente por placer. Comúnmente se sirven en reuniones o eventos. Estos alimentos contienen a menudo cantidades importantes de edulcorantes, conservantes, saborizantes, condimentos, sal, y otros ingredientes sabrosos, como el chocolate y cacahuetes (maníes). Muchas veces son clasificados como "comida basura" al tener poco o ningún valor nutricional, exceso de aditivos, y no contribuir a la salud general. En el sector alimenticio de mercados como Estados Unidos o Europa Occidental, los snacks generan miles de millones de dólares en beneficios al año. Es un mercado enorme y un gran número de empresas luchan constantemente por dominarlo, además de ser un mercado en crecimiento.
