The catch

Sodium is the thing to watch at 180 mg per 1 ounce serving, and since a 4 ounce bag holds about 4 servings, finishing one runs you close to 720 mg. (source)

The honest take

These are baked chickpea puffs, not fried, and each 1 ounce serving lands at 130 calories with 4 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber, which makes them a lighter, higher fiber option than a classic cheese puff. The ingredient list is short and organic, but sunflower oil, cane sugar and yeast extract flavoring still put this in ultra processed territory (NOVA group 4). If you want a vegan, gluten free crunch that beats a bag of Cheetos on fiber and simplicity, these do the job. Just do not read 4 grams of protein as a real protein snack.
