CR Off The Eaten Path Pea & Pinto Bean Sticks

Off The Eaten Path Pea & Pinto Bean Sticks Sea Salt | Chewsday Review

Let’s spill the beans on this snack! With a whole lot of crunch, these pea sticks might just be ‘stalking’ their way into your pantry. Are you pea-king with curiosity? Let’s dig in!

Ingredients

Positives

These pea sticks are low in saturated fat (1.3g per 100g) which is almost half the amount of saturated fat in regular potato chips.
Although total fat is high, a majority of this is from monounsaturated fat which is a healthy fat to have in your diet.
They are a convenient toddler snack to decant into snack boxes or bags. Keep in mind these don’t have as much of a bite and dissolve texture than the Harvest Snaps Pea Crisps, so they may be more suitable for an older toddler.

Negatives

The sodium content is higher than my guidelines at 560mg per 100g. This is about 1.5 times more than the Harvest Snaps Pea Crisps (357mg per 100g), and about the same as most regular potato chips (500-600mg per 100g).
I would’ve liked to see more dietary fibre in these are it is quite low at 1.4g per serving. Adding a pea fibre would have boosted this.
They cost $4.00 for a 100g bag ($40.00 per kg). This is 1.4 times the price of regular potato chips ($28.20 per kg), but slightly cheaper than Harvest Snaps Pea Crisps ($41.70 per kg).
