Spicy Green Peas! [Food/Vendor]
2011 Mar 16
Those look good, are the peas colored to look like that?
they look too bright (most of those pea snacks are colored...).
But most of those are also fried...so not really healthy.
It is pretend healthy!
I've seen spicy peas before,but not really tried them.
I have roasted my own soy beans and seasoned them-it is not too hard to do,but is a lot of wait time, soaking beans,putting in oven.
But now that I did that once myself and have a printed instruction sheet from the farmers market I go to (there is a local soybean grower/vendor).
I will just do it myself to avoid the oil of those snacks (or use minimal oil).
You can also use chick peas and other beans to make crunchy snacks if you like.
I have seen baked seasoned chick peas as a snack for sale online before.
I plan on trying spicy oil next time I roast any beans and probably something other than soy beans to see how that goes.
Happy snack hunting!

Ok,
maybe I shoulda left of the "unhealthy" part.
Just that so many people assume those things are healthy because they are vegetables...
I actually like the snack Snappea Crisps.
it is kind of Japanese, but also made in the US now.
I forget who makes it, but Natural Food pantry sells it at the crazy price of $7 per 4oz bag.
I used to buy this at the Japanese store in Ottawa for $3 something and Shoppers sells it for around $3.50 on Bank st only as far as i know.
the snack looks like crunchy dried beans or snap peas but it is made of corn like doritos,but there is pea in it to make them green.
I'ma gonna pick up a big this weekend if I remember :)

Anyway, heartily recommended, and I noticed that they can be found at local Wal-Mart stores, in the Asian food section. No need to go to Victoria's Chinatown.
The Wal-Mart version seems to have corrected the "Sricy" typo. :-)
