Love them but
Ingredients have recently changed to include maltodextrin. So I limit how much I buy the product, definite sugar without it being listed
Great crunch and flavour!
These beans are a go to for me. I sell them at work and they are a favourite. I find the high fibre means I can’t overeat them and the intense flavour and crunch mean I’m completely satisfied after eating them. I love that they are whole food with minimal processing. They are perfect to tuck in a purse or brief case for quick snacking on the run. My son also uses them as a nutrient dense snack when hiking and camping.
