This snack wins the award for “most flavors packed into a tiny bag”. I mean, just LOOK at the name – we have:
1. Rosemary
2. Thyme
3. Maple
4. Toffee
5. And, what is holding it
all together, sunflower seeds!
That’s a heck of a lot of flavors!
It also wins the award for “snack that makes me sing out loud a Simon
and Garfunkel tune every time I open the bag to eat some” – can anyone sing
along, “Parsley, sage, ROSEMARY AND THYME….”.
We served these as a small “amuse-bouche” or appetizer at our Trader Joe’s
dinner party (if you are new to this blog, it was a dinner party last month
where we ONLY served Trader Joe’s products, and then had our guests write their
own reviews and rate things 1 – 5. It was
fun!). We hadn’t tried them before the
party.

One thing I will say – do not go by your first taste. They are sort of strange at first. So put that strangeness aside and take a few
more bites. They get better! One blurb on the back of the package says, “Unlike
anything you’ve ever tasted before”. They
got that right! They are distinctly
different. But I like them. They are nothing I would want to eat every
day, but as a different snack they hit the spot. If I were to rate these on my own, I would
give them a 3.75. But since this was a
dinner party food, let’s look at what the other reviewers said and then average
all 6 scores:
-
“Ginger? Something burnt
– flavored… Not unpleasant in the fingers. Satisfyingly filling, like nuts.”
-
“Unexpected flavor and fun texture.”
-
“Ok, not a big fan. A
bit bitter (over caramelized).”
-
“Great in small snackfuls but intense sweet/savory combo is
too much for just a snack. I’d love
these in a salad!”
-
“Good combo of flavors.”
Price - $1.99
Rating (average of 6 people) - 4
