Crunch-a-Mame Edamame Snack - High In Protein & Fiber, Naturally Gluten Free - Sea Salt & Black Pepper - (Pack of 8 Single Serving Bags)

I am a big fan of edamame and eat it pretty regularly. My 17 month old son also really enjoys edamame. I have bought dry-roasted edamame and I like it fairly well, but it's always pretty dry and fairly bland.I noticed cruncha-ma-me for sale in a local natural grocery and bought a pouch on a whim to have with my lunch. I figured that it would have about the same texture and flavor as the dry roasted edamame I'm accustomed to. Boy, was I wrong!I found the cruncha-ma-me to be much more crisp and crunchy than dry-roasted edamame. It also finishes with an amazingly creamy texture that is just a delight. The flavor is much "greener" tasting than dry-roasted edamame as well. Overall, eating cruncha-ma-me was much closer to eating fresh edamame than dry-roasted. I also really like that the beans are lightly salted - just enough to give them that extra YUM factor (although I like edamame without salt as well).My son is also a huge fan of cruncha-ma-me. We frequently live out of our car on Saturdays while running errands and visiting family, and I struggle to find snacks for him that are: healthy, easy to pack, easy to eat (i.e. not sticky or runny), and not loaded with sugar. Cruncha-ma-me is perfect! He can eat it while riding in a grocery cart, and, unlike a squeeze pouch, I am not going to look away for 2 seconds only to turn back and discover that he's covered in sticky fruit puree. If he drops a cruncha-ma-me bean it's no biggie to pick up.I am really impressed with cruncha-ma-me and foresee it becoming a staple snack for my household. I do wish it was a little less expensive and came in larger quantities, but I'm still pretty happy with it and will continue to buy.

Fantastic! I recently re-committed myself to living a healthy life, including eating a plant-based diet. Being a little overweight, and just starting to work on my fitness again, I definitely find myself to be very sensitive to high-carbohydrate foods. Which makes eating a vegan diet somewhat challenging, especially when it comes to snacks. Most granola bars don't cut it, and it isn't always convenient to mix up a protein shake (plus, even with good ingredients, they're still very processed). These snacks are perfect. Individually wrapped, NO salt, NO sugar, NO added anything...just healthy beans. And they're very portable because the freeze-drying makes them very lightweight. If you don't have access to fresh veggies, this would be the next best thing. Plus, the protein and fiber keeps blood sugar stable, and hunger away. Highly recommend.

The product itself was fine- light, healthy and tasty whole beans (not crunchy like soynuts though). My real complaint was with the delivery. When I ordered this product, the web indicated that they were "In stock". And so I waited, and waited... it took two weeks for me to get the order and I have Prime Membership. I would have appreciated some prior notification from the seller but Amazon was very good about dealing with the delay once I made the initial complaint. As for the nutritional stats: 90 calories: total fat:4g; carbs: 7g 2%; fiber: 3g protein 8g; iron 10% calcium 4%. Not too bad for a convenient snack on the go.

I love edamame prepared pretty much any way, but I normally just steam them. It's delicious, but messy and takes a lot of time to squeeze them out of the pods. I wanted to try these because they are simple and quick, and I can take them with me. I got the lightly seasoned, and they are tasty! I love the texture of them. They aren't super crunchy like the fried soybeans or trail mixes I've had. The texture is different, and satisfying. These are a much healthier snack than a lot of other things I could be taking with me, and they actually fill me up and make me feel better. I wish they came in bigger boxes. I will easily go through 8 of these. BTW I looked around, and Amazon has the best price I could find on these.

I've been a recent to "THE BODY RESET DIET" by HARLEY PASTERNAK. Its been a great diet as I was already eating along the lines he promotes. Cruncha Ma-Me seemed like a fantastic option for the snacks in the plan. So after reading lots of reviews I ordered them.It's not. They are terrible. Honestly. These are inedible on their own. Its like crewing slightly compressed saw dust, lightly seasoned saw dust. You have to wash it down to swallow. I wish I was exaggerating.I love fresh boiled edamame. This is nothing like that. It's just awful and that's an honest opinion.

I've actually ordered these Crunch-A-Mame boxes twice. Before getting this freeze dried product, I used to buy Seaport dry roasted edamame, which was flavorful as well as crunchy, for snacking and as salad toppers, but the calories on anything dry roasted can really add up, not unlike nuts.So, for the sake of saving some calories, I decided to try this freeze dried edamame product. Because they are freeze dried, each pod has that powdery brittleness (squish them between your fingers and they turn to dust) and virtually no flavor, just like all products I've tried that are freeze dried. I guess you have to give up taste for the lower calorie count! Nonetheless, I still use them as a topper to certain dishes, for the crunch and some extra protein. I get my "crunch" fix that way.

I have a two year old and a ten month old, and I'm so focused on getting them fed and taken care of that I don't always remember to feed myself! Having a healthy snack that I can keep in the diaper bag or car has been fantastic. I love having an alternative to all the food bars out there. This is something I can feel good about eating because it's minimally processed and a vegetable, and it gives me a great amount of protein and fiber and enough energy to make it through the next grocery store trip without stopping for a pastry or something really unhealthy just because it's convenient. I keep some in my car at all times now. It's delicious, a great energy boost, and so much healthier than the convenience food I was eating.
