Two Moms in the Raw Almond Butter Cacao Truffles Review
Two Moms in the Raw Truffles were another impulse buy from LifeThyme Natural Market. (This time right at the register!?). They come three to a pack and are just slightly smaller than a golf ball. They’re made of almond butter, cacao, almond bits and agave. These little guys aren’t nearly as smooth as a straight […]
Jabsons Roasted Chana Review
The Jabsons Roasted Chana slick packaging caught my eye at Patel Brothers in Atlanta (1711 Church St, Decatur, GA). Around since 1922, they hand roast which is certainly unusual to find in a packaged good. The packet is 150g or 5.29oz. The copy indicates the product is Gujarati style. The chickpeas are quite small, about […]
Ulker Golden White Chocolate With Pistachios (3.17oz/90g)
Ülker is a Turkish company that makes chocolate, crackers and all manner of food products. One thing this chocolate teaches is that an umlaut indicates quality. The White Chocolate with Pistachio bar was purchased on sale for only a $1 at the meat market on 20th Avenue in Bensonhurst. Pistachios are rarely used in American […]
Bikaji Khatta Meetha Review (Officially Gluten Free Snack)
This package of Bikaji Khatta Meetha was purchased for $3.99 (400g/14.12 oz) at Foods on India (Sinha Trading Company) in Curry Hill. Already a fan of the previously written about aloo bhujia I was curious how their version of this sweet and sour treat compared to the one by Haldiram’s. The crunch is satisfying and […]
OHSUNG YES! CHIPS! Review
OHSUNG YES! CHIPS! SWEET POTATO CHIPS WITH BLACK SESAME. This was on sale for $1.79 at the legendary Hmart Korean megamart. The packaging shows the product name with an exclamation point and all caps. Some might think it rude to yell at a potential customer but I like enthusiasm from packaged goods especially without the […]
RW Garcia Thai Sweet & Spicy Tortilla Chips w/Flaxseed
My parents picked these chips up at Homegoods for $2.49. The serving size is 7 chips. They’re non-gmo and feature 500 mg of Omega 3s per serving. The package is clearly labeled gluten free. The RW Garcia Thai Sweet and Spicy Tortilla Chips are somewhere in the middle in terms of flavor and texture. They […]
Garden of Eatin’ Blue Corn Tortilla Chips Review (Hain Celestial Group)
These Garden of Eatin’ Blue Chip Corn Tortilla Chips (8.1 oz, $3.19) were a case of mistaken identity. The intention was to pick up GoE’s superior Sesame Blues instead. Luckily, the regular blue chips are also decent. They’re fairly no nonsense. The chips are organic and are only made of three ingredients: blue corn, oil […]
Sensible Portions Veggie Chips (Sea Salt)
I’m really enjoying the Sensible Portions Veggie Chips (7oz, $3.39). They have no cholesterol or trans fat and 30% less fat than potato chips. It very clearly labels portion size as 38 chips which is a satisfying amount. As with pretty much every type of veggie chip you won’t get much nutrition from these but […]
Tastycakes Blueberry Flavor
When I visit New Jersey a stop at Wawa (convenience store) is a must. TastyKakes are the main reason. True they can be found at Duane Reades throughout the city, but it’s fun to just have them on special occasions. During the last visit I picked up the TastyKake Blueberry flavor (4oz/$1.69). The presentation is […]
Primal Strips Vegan and Sometimes Gluten Free Jerky
I’m a sucker for beef jerky so a Vegan and V/GF version I had to try. I picked these up at the local convenience store though they sell it online in many places as well. Mesquite Lime Flavor: This flavor is vegan and made with seitan. Based on the ingredients mesquite wood isn’t used but […]
