We went foraging yesterday

This is, in some ways, a follow-up to my post Tuesday asking about sources for bulk wasabi peas or other dried veggies.




The first two columns are from United Noodles:
Column 1 (top to bottom)
Roasted Green Peas (can)
Original Green Peas
Hot Green Peas

Column 2 (top to bottom)
Mustard Green Peas
Garlic Green Peas

Column 3 is from Bills Imported Foods (top to bottom)
Green Bean Chips
Carrot Chips
Fried Green Peas
Wasabi Peas

Column 4 is from CostCo (we went to the one in St. Louis Park)
Carrot Crisps, dried with a splash of orange juice (box of 14 single-serving bags)

This expedition was on our off-week for our every-two-weeks grocery shopping, and the results should be more than enough to get me through three weeks, to an on-week. And I'll have an idea of what I want to get more of.


The incentive here is to get me more healthy snacks, and more fruits & vegetables in my diet. Given my allergy to most fresh fruits & vegetables, I need something at least minimally processed. Dried fruits are ... less than optimal for diabetics. All of these should help.

dried veggies!

Some of those sound potentially very tasty. It's kinda cool that you'll be able to compare bunches of them at once, really.

Trader Joe's also carries a variety of freeze-dried fruits and veg. Of the latter, I've tried the green beans with seasoning (soy, maybe? and herbs), and they were pretty tasty. Worth checking out online to see what they have, anyway.
