The catch

One 1 ounce serving has 220mg of sodium, and since a 4oz bag holds four servings, finishing the bag adds up to roughly 880mg. (source)

The honest take

HIPPEAS Groovy White Cheddar are baked chickpea and rice flour puffs that swap real dairy for a plant based cheesy coating, landing at 100 calories, 3g protein, and 2g fiber per 1 ounce serving. They are a genuinely lighter and allergen friendly stand in for classic cheese puffs, and the ingredient list is fairly short and mostly recognizable, though sunflower oil and maltodextrin keep these squarely in processed snack territory. The 3g of protein is modest despite the chickpea marketing, so treat them as a better crunchy snack rather than a protein source. Sodium is the thing to watch, since one serving carries 220mg and it is very easy to finish a whole bag in one sitting.
