Peri Peri Limon vs Achaari Masala: Pick Your Edamame Heat

Two bold roasted edamame flavours, two totally different moods. Here's how to choose between citrusy Peri Peri Limon and tangy Achaari Masala.
Two bowls of boldly seasoned roasted edamame for the Peri Peri Limon versus Achaari Masala flavour guide

Choosing a spicy snack sounds easy until you meet two types of heat that don't taste alike at all. Enter AFTER FOUR's Peri Peri Limon and Achaari Masala roasted edamame: both bring bold seasoning to a firm, crisp bite, but their personalities are completely different.

Team Peri Peri Limon: heat with a zing

Think chilli-led seasoning with a bright citrus-style edge. Peri Peri Limon is for afternoons when you want your snack to feel lively and a little sharp. It's an easy pick when you tend to reach for hot-and-tangy flavour combinations.

The vibe: energetic, punchy and zesty. The pairing idea: a chilled drink and a quick break away from the desk.

Team Achaari Masala: tang with a desi twist

Achaari Masala goes in a different direction. Inspired by the tang and warmth of pickle-style seasoning, it delivers a distinctly desi flavour mood. If your favourite savoury snacks lean toward masala, tang and complexity, this is the one to try first.

The vibe: bold, familiar and full of character. The pairing idea: a tea break or an evening catch-up with friends.

And what about the crunch?

Both flavours start with roasted edamame, so the base texture stays in the same family: firmer and denser than airy makhana. The main choice is which seasoning profile sounds more like your 4 PM craving.

Can't decide? Run the two-bowl test

Pour each flavour into a separate bowl. Try a few bites of one, take a sip of water, then try the other. Ask yourself three things: which tastes brighter, which feels more masala-forward, and which would you happily reach for again tomorrow?

There's no wrong answer. The fun is finding your own favourite.

Other moods are welcome

Not every afternoon is a spicy one. The AFTER FOUR roasted edamame range also includes Classic Sea Salt and Cheese when you want to change gears.
