WELCOME TO
Our Spicy Journey
This is how we turn our spicy ideas into snackable projects.
All it takes were just an idea, inspired by Tiktok, hardwork and a passionate heart to deliver the phenomenal...
From a Civil Engineer to a Snack Challenger
Our founder's passion for creating something that don't destroy our body, with bold flavors and finger licking HOT, led to a delicious transformation from civil engineering to building up a "Snack Dynasty".
With a commitment to clean body "construction materials" and hot tounge flavour, Gnomnivore was born to provide our human with cleaner "fuels".
The Blueprint - What was the story?
It was a Tuesday arvo in February 2025, at my beloved engineering office located in Geelong.
I was feeling h-angry - you know, that deadly combo of hunger and rage - after a long day slumped over my drafting desk. Instinctively, I zombie-walked to the office kitchen and reached for a chocolate bar. That glossy wrapper. That fake cocoa smell. That suspicious crunch with 47 ingredients, 13 of which sound like they belong in a chemistry lab...
And then it hit me.
What the freak am I trying to eat?
A sugar-overloaded, ultra-processed, additive-packed slab of edible regret. I stared at it like it had personally betrayed me. And honestly? It had. Just like all the “junk” we mindlessly chew on these days.
As a Civil Engineer, I’ve always believed in building things that last. Strong foundations. Solid structures. And suddenly, I realised - why aren’t we applying that same logic to our food?
What we eat today lays the blueprint for who we become tomorrow. So I decided to engineer snacks that actually mean something. Snacks with integrity. Snacks with spice.
Enter Gnomnivore.
Our flagship? Salted egg cashew nuts. Not just tossed in a wok and called a day - these babies are roasted with blueprint-level precision. Each nut is seasoned like it’s been through a flavor feasibility study: balanced heat, bold taste, and structural integrity in every bite.
We don’t do bland. We don’t do fake. We do snacks that slap.
So if you’re done with the artificial nonsense and ready to snack smart, snack strong - welcome to the movement.
Let’s demolish junk food culture, one spicy bite at a time!
