In the early days of Bohana, a snack business, Nadine C. Habayeb roasted popped water lily seeds in her South End apartment oven then seasoned and bagged samples herself. That was 2017. Three years later, she was on ABCâs âShark Tank,â successfully pitching for a start-up loan. Today, the vegan and low-cal treat comes in various flavors â including Himalayan Pink Salt, White Cheddar, and Soulful Spice (think sriracha) â and is sold in more than 250 markets along the East Coast.
