Delicate & tasty. Your salad never got such a lift! The pea has played an important role in dietary life and culture since the dawn of recorded history, and because of its nutritional value it has great potential for our dietary lives in the future.

Customer Reviews
Everyone loves these, including toddlers By Lorna Doone (Maine, USA)
We discovered these when my son was 3 years old, he is now 4 and still loves his "pea pods". Also, all of his little friends are also into them. With 5 grams of protein a serving they are not a unhealthy snack, great for the beach of wherever. We are big fans, and highly recommend them!!

Tasty Green Things By Maxine Terry (Seattle)
These are a great and almost-guilt free snack. Crisp, tasty and slightly addictive. The bulk price online is very economical. My local grocery store charges $5.99 for a single package. If you want to save money on "treats", here's a good place to start.

They are delicious By Lucky Puppy
These are really a great product. They are hard to find in Markets so I searched on Amazon, fortunately they had them. I will definitiely keep buying them via Amazon.

A must for yeast-free sugar-free diet By Family Man (WI)
These are a fabulous treat. I've been on a yeast-free, very low-sugar diet to get rid of a systemic yeast problem. This is my favorite quick snack that I can eat. They are delicious, nice and crunchy, and a good source of protein. My kids love them but I try to keep them for myself. I highly recommend them!

Tasty snacks By Central Florida Mom
I found these Snapea Crisps a while back at a local grocery store and enjoyed it so much that I decided to purchase an entire box with 12 packs (it came out less expensive and I was able to share them with friends). I liked that it was baked and that it was actually made from snap peas. If I recall correctly, the product's website explained that the peas are dehydrated and made into a powder form, in order to eventually make them into it's appealing snow pea shape. I enjoy the lightly salted flavor as well the crispiness of it - makes it difficult to just eat one. Also, my toddler and preschooler enjoy them, so I feel better about giving them a snack that contains peas. I'm not a fan of ceasar salad, so I have not ventured into the ceasar salad flavored crips, but so far I've enjoyed just the original flavor.

Green, different, and completely yummy By J. Evans (Southern Nevada)
If you judge this snack by the packaging, you might never try them. Baked pea pods don't exactly sound like the most appetizing (or satisfying) snack, but these guys really deliver. As one of the other reviewers said, they are crunchy and light, with a texture similar to Cheetos, possibly a little more dense. They have the taste of lightly salted snow peas, only light and airy. While they might not be as healthy as a raw or steamed vegetable, they're a good alternative if you don't want all of the chemicals and sugars in most packaged snacks. These guys have no sugar at all and the ingredient list is wholly recognizable. I usually buy two bags at a time because they tend to go so fast. Both flavors are delicious, though I prefer the original.

Incredible snack By Rik (Milford, NJ USA)
What a find!!! Made from peas, nutricious and taste incredible! My kids love them as well. I can find them at one local grocery store. Happy Amazon now carries and at a good price.

Want More By S. Gillins (Riverside, CA)
I ordered several cases of this item, but only one was sent to my friend, for whom I ordered one. I received a message that they are no longer available. I'm not happy about that at all. Please try to get these back on your website and can you let me know if you do. Thanks.

Amazing snackBy K. B. Rollins (Bullard, TX United States)
These are extraordinary. Crunchy, tender and tasty. I use them in salads, added at the last minute like croutons. Also terrific for snacks.

Health Food Magic By Mary B. Lombardi (Rockledge, Florida United States)
This is a great organic, tasty snack food. Just enough crunch to satisfy the munchies! Something this good for you and tastes great.

Yummy By S. Wong (San Diego, CA USA)
This tastes really good! The texture is unique (light airy but crunchy at the same time). It has 5g of protein per serving and 2g of fiber! Great healthy snack.

Great taste! By nazir (MA United States)
This is an awesome tasting snack. The cheapest place near us is Trader Joe's and they sell it for $1.50. Amazon is even cheaper! You cannot just eat one.....we finish the whole bag each time we open it!

Better than potato chips or popcorn By Marie Wagner (Gilbert, AZ)
I just love the Calbee Snapea Crisps so much, that I went on the internet to try to find the best price possible for my favorite snack! I found that Amazon has everyone including my local stores beat hands down on price especially when you get free shipping. I eat the Snapeas right from the bag as a snack. Mine have never made it to a salad. I didn't even realize that was what they were supposed to be used on top of! I like both flavors equally, but eat more of the original since I think overall they may be a tad more healthy.

Delicious Snapea Crisps By Linda L. Hammond
I purchased the Snapea Crisps recently in Alabama while on vacation. My family along with myself enjoyed them very much. I tried to purchase them locally when I returned home but was unable to locate them. I went online and found them and ordered a case. They are a very good healthy snack.

The Perfect Snack By Pinky (Long Island, NY)
The fact that I ordered myself a case of these rather speaks for itself. I consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur of offbeat snack foods, and these are my favorite of all time. Slightly sweet, slightly salty, slighty greasy, everything in perfect balance and a very nice mouthfeel. Heavenly!

Calbee Snack Salad Snapea Crisps By J. Banks
The crisps are simply delicious. I feel like I am eating something sinful but they are healthier than potato chips or cheese puff snacks. I was hooked on them and ordered two cases after tasting just one crisp. It was absolute genius to make snap peas into a tasteful snack. I recommend this product as a healthier alternative to Cheetos or potato chips. Enjoy!

So addictive By Stacy
These taste like pistachios. I'm ordering a case today. They are highly addictive and better for you than potato chips. They're baked and do not have trans fats.
