Lotus Pops - Popped Lotus (Water Lily) Seed Snacks – Low Calorie Gluten Free and Vegan Snacks | Plant Protein | Roasted Not-Fried | Paleo | GrainFree | NonGMO Certified | (Salt Pepper Turmeric 4 1oz Packs)

I took a random chance on this product and, as I’ve never had lotus seeds before, popped or otherwise, I found myself pleasantly surprised! To me, the taste of the Creamy Coconut was both flavorful yet delicate, and certainly delicious, definitely “lighter than popcorn”!However, I do have two gripes with the product itself— The first is simply that the Lotus Pops company need to make and sell their product in varying sizes. The sizes in this specific purchase— you get four bags of a flavor for $11.99 (roughly $2.99/bag), each bag holding a snack-sized portion ONLY, of which is a 1 cup serving. This was good for people like me who are curious and wanting to try a new product. Buuut, it’s not so great if you love it upon first nom and want more (they do contain a sizable amount of air as another reviewer has mentioned, though I think it was a bit unfair to be so upset when the description and photos show you the size/ amount offered per bag— though yah, the ”puffed up with air to make it seem fuller than it is bag” is an uncool and misleading not-no).The second reason to gripe is to do with the price as I shared above, most especially if a first time customer does indeed like it and would like to have more, say for a party or some kind or gathering, or even just to gorge ourselves on selfishly because we’re worth a bit of spoiling! You would have to buy a few orders of the four packs to fill a regular sized mixing bowl, and by that point a person would be spending, say, $60 or so (4 orders, each order having four bags that are 1 cup full each). And that my poor peeps, does not a happy quarantiner (or really, just a happy snacker) make.Side note that I wish I would have done myself initially: I would suggest trying the “sampler bag purchase” that the company offers on their website, or here on Amazon ($17.99), where you get six bags of each different flavor they have if you’re unsure what flavor sounds better.In the end though, the product is worth it in terms of taste, but I do think they need to lower prices and make bigger sizes.

I’d heard about lots seeds on a podcast and then they popped up in a social media page as a fantastic diet snack as low in bad things and delicious. I ordered a 4 pack online and they are SO good!They’re much bigger than I expected, bugger than a Bada Bean. It not so hard. They’re a delightful mix of crunchy and puffy, which makes them really fun to eat.I’ve only tried the Himalayan Pink Salt but will try the other savory flavors; sadly the sweet ones may not work on my diet as too much sugar but I greatly look forward to trying them when I’m not being so rigid on the regime! I’ve recommended these to a celiac vegan friend, she will be thrilled. Can’t wait to get a variety pack box in! I would like the price to be a tiny bit lower but feel the taste and quality justify it. I may just need to have them as a treat.

This is an updated review to state I was so disappointed the prices doubled over night and could no longer afford to purchase this great snack after first purchased. If found cheaper online, the shipping cost was as much as item, until at last…happen to visit someone hrs away and her food store had this wonderful, same product for 1/2 the price! YES, 1/2 the price!! Purchased 8 bags (2.3 oz each) for $28.00! The food store stated the more they ordered, the quicker they went, not lasting more than one day on shelf. It is such a shame price gouging is the normal.

Enjoyed the taste, but mine tasted stale unfortunately (the expiration date was about 3 months in the future). Selected these as an alternative to the $7/bag asha pops at my local health foods store, but the asha pops are tastier and airier/lighter. It was nice to try these, but I'm unlikely to purchase again.

Having gone back to paleo after falling off the wagon for two years, I was looking for something delicious and crunchy to munch on that was not a raw vegetable, and was not made from any kind of nuts, beets, kale, or sweet potatoes. I also didn't want it to taste like a paleo version of some other non-paleo thing. These pops were just the ticket! Quite delicious as the thing they are - lotus seeds roasted to perfection.They sort of have the texture of puffed wheat, but the size and feel of popcorn. They are crunchy, non-greasy, just the right amount of salty.They were so good that I "accidentally" ate the whole bag.

Extreme ripoff is all I can say with this product!PROS:Taste and texture. Period.CONS:It is a total con with the pricing and packaging. The bags are the size of a typical single serving of potato chips, but unfortunately it is 95% air inside! At the very bottom of each bag lies about 12 to 15 popcorn-size pieces that make you first think there was a manufacturing/packaging issue. So you open another bag...same issue. Even bags from another flavor (I bought 3) are the same way!So for $12 per flavor that contain 4 bags ($3 per bag), you are basically paying $12 for a small bowl of cereal...and I mean really small!Big mistake on my part for not reading some of the negative reviews on this -- and I can't believe people don't have a problem spending $12 for this unless most of the positive reviews are fake! I just threw $36 down the drain!Wanted to post a video that I took opening some of the bags and see what little was inside...but Amazon seems to have removed the option to post photos and videos now! What the heck.

OMG WOW!! These are absolutely delicious!! I purchased the coconut flavor. Definitely will buy again even though they're a bit pricey! And really want to try the chocolate as well! Highly recommend for a very special treat for yourself!!
