Happy Valley Farms Crunchites Vacuum Fried Vegetable - Mixed Veggie Snack (Single)

I REALLY love how the sweet potato chips taste, but everytime I've ordered them (3 times) I've been sent the pumpkin chips.I wish there was some better quality control because I would definitely get more if I knew I would actually get what I ordered.

I received the mixed vegetable. I'm confused by this snack product. Is it supposed to be healthy or be a snack? Snacks generally taste good. On a scale of 1 - 10 in the taste department where 1 being the worst and 10 being the best, this is a 1. I'm sorry, I could never enjoy eating this even if I were starving. The snack is fried vegetables. Does that mean it to be healthy because it's vegan. Generally anything fried is not healthy. Potato chips are also vegan but taste good. These are low in sodium and crispy. That's the good part. I'm sorry I'm giving this 2 stars and being generous. In addition, my 10 year old son tasted this snack and spit it in the nearest garbage can. Nope. This is a no go.

It was fun to eat whole okra, looking much like when it's picked, without any of the famous sliminess. Broccoli that tastes like broccoli but crispy with a very slight sweetness. Chips of other veggies that could almost pass for potato chips, but with other flavors and lighter. It's all super-light.I quite enjoyed them.They add a little sugar and salt, and some rice bran oil. It's not enough sugar to register as a whole gram out of 35, though--the label says 0g added sugar. There is a little more salt by weight than for potato chips, but these are lighter than potato chips by volume, so they don't taste very salty. The oil is probably responsible for most of the fat, 10g out of 35g, but despite the lightness it's still a lot less than for potato chips.Not a lot in a pack, but enough for a good snack. 180 calories.The freshness date on mine is September 28, 2020.

Ok, so these are super healthy. We get it. But THESE TASTE SO BAD, especially the okra. AVOID THE OKRA. A toddler spit these out, I spit these out, and the dog spit these out and looked at me offended. The only exception being the sweet potato “chips” that were few and far between. I would gladly demolish a bag of those in the name of health.So there are snack options out there that are comparable and appear healthier such as baked goods, but studies show that “baked” snacks contain a high amount of the cancer-causing chemical acrylamide, despite being lower in fat. Boooooo! Whereas, vacuum-fried foods apparently have less carcinogens because the boiling point is reduced. At this point, we’re at an impasse of choosing your vices because it seems like all the packaged foods are out to get us. Buuuuut despite being a health-conscious consumer, I am NOT putting myself (or others!!) through the mental torture of eating these. I know I’m being a drama queen, and I am fortunate enough to have extensive food options versus impoverished countries, but these really do not suit my taste buds.Despite the awful taste of these vacuum-fried snacks (ESPECIALLY THE OKRA), I am glad that I entered the world of vacuum-fried snacks. Although I will NEVER repurchase these, I will definitely be on the lookout for vacuum-fried sweet potato snacks.

I am always trying to eat a little healthier (easier said than done, right?), but eating vegetables, especially in variety, can be inconvenient and hard. I often don't enjoy the cooking or chewing of vegetables like okra, sweet potatoes, or broccoli. I also don't always have access to a microwave at work, so softer, easier to eat vegetables aren't always an option.These bags of vacuum fried veggies are a great way to get in an extra serving (or two!) of veggies in a convenient, tasty way. They are very easy to eat, and only leave a little bit of dust/residue from the seasoning and parts of the veggies that naturally fall off a bit. The serving size is a whole bag, so you can enjoy the flavor without having to portion!I love the crunch of the veggies - it makes it more satisfying to eat. There is a light seasoning on the veggies (which includes sugar, but apparently not enough to classify it as 'added sugar') which definitely adds some flavor to it. I would be curious to try the veggies with just a light salt on it instead of the rice bran oil seasoning.Overall, it's a nice snack with good flavors - but you definitely have to like veggies in order to appreciate it, I think. I would consider purchasing again for the quality and convenience of it.

Reviewing: Happy Valley Farms Crunchites Vacuum Fried Vegetable - Mixed Veggie Snack (3 Pack)This is just a super-cool product.I’m not sure I’d actually order it again, since it’s…odd. And a bit pricey. But it’s also sort of wonderful, so I think I would recommend it.The veggies are the shape of the actual veggies, and taste like them, but they’re dry and light and crispy. You probably needs some of these at least once in your life, a bucket list kinda thing, because they’re just that different.You’ve never eaten veggies like this before. Guaranteed.Great aftertaste, great snack, gone too soon.I think you need some of these. I clearly did, without realizing it.Recommended.

These dried veggie snacks are so good! They remind me of freeze-dried veggies in texture. All the flavors are good--even the okra. I wasn't sure if I'd like the okra, but it has a very mild taste. The broccoli has retained its flavor, and though I don't normally like broccoli all that much, I like this and wish there were more in each pack.The only complaint I have is that the bags are so tiny. Each one is only supposed to be one serving, but thankfully I can get about three servings out of each one if just taking a bit for a mini snack. I wish they packed a bit more in each bag.
