riceworks: Sweet Chili packaging... fiery. |
I scamper back to my office to take pictures and try them for the first time. Judging from the packaging, one would think there's a kick to these "crisps." I mean... there are chili peppers on the front with a background that sort of resembles fire. I'm glad they showed a "crisp" on the front as well, because upon opening the bag, I'd have thought they accidentally filled it with chips. The bag touts its inhabitants many achievements: Gluten-free, All natural, Wheat-free, whole grain, vegan and celiac friendly, no trans fat, no cholesterol, no preservatives, and I think something about shaving whales. Anyway, I open the bag, and I'm saddened to see this:

my ration of "crisps" |
Apparently riceworks is trying to help me watch my girlish figure... The "crisps" are dense. I pick one up and inspect it... it's light, but thick. It's covered in flavor stuff, but the ingredients list is significantly shorter than their chip counterparts. I continue inspecting... I taste a "crisp." My teeth crunch through the brown rice to find a sweet, slightly zippy flavor as bold as what you'd find on "chips" but this is a "crisp"... obviously.

I probably should have used a banana to show size, but I forgot and it's a little late now. Visualize it. |
All in all, the flavor was good, they hit the spot for a quick snack, and they were only 180 calories, but there are other things I could choose next time for less calories, more flavor, and less money. I would say that if I were grabbing a sandwich and these were a chip option I will totally choose them, but for an after pumping snack? I'll pass next time.
