No sale!
Don't know about healthy but not bad compared to other crisps etc. may as well get a couple.
Btw Aldi has them as a special buy this Saturday, 200g $2.79. works out the same cost.
Aldi ones lower sodium but higher saturated fat..

Is there an Aldi version of spicy broad bean?
Dunno, just saw this type on the site too

but not bad compared to other crisps etc
nah, all of these snacks are unhealthy af, which is why they taste so damn good.
Just have an apple then
Yes obviously, processed refined crap, the sodium and fats aren't good. Small serving sizes probably ok if you mostly eat well otherwise.
Personally don't mind chickpeas with some Moroccan spice in the air fryer, similarly small diced tofu with nutritional yeast.

For all those recent people with the flu epidemic, this badboy will clear your sinuses. It'll burn a hole right through them if you eat enough 😂
Agree.
I like these wasabi peas.
It has a nice KICK;
clears the sinus.

Liking the idea, but not loving it.
Thanks, got some spicy broad beans too for the same price.
Keen to try these as well…
I've tried the broad beans ages ago and they were nice if I remember correctly, I've had the wasabi peas many times and are also nice. Was keen to try the edamame beans as well but they're not as cheap so didn't bother.
What about the spicy Brussel Sprouts?
Recent reviews were 1 star.

Wet greasy muck…. "
Decided not to buy😥
? They aren't wet. Anything but.
I like them, and the wasabi peas. Won't pay $1.40 though. I get them for $1 when Woolies has a sale.
Gotta admit that isn't recent.
Both recent Amazon reviews complained of being very oily. Certainly shouldn't be Wet greasy muck!
Thanks. Will try Woolies. I like Broad Beans. May be an issue with Amazon supplies.
Similarly, in recent Amazon reviews of Terry's Chocolate Minis Popping Candy - said chocolate was white & taste wasn't best.
Ordered 1 from Amazon. Quite oily!
Had to wipe oil off hands each time i picked some up.
Yeah the star rating on Amazon not good.
Thought I would also give these ago too
Savour Edamame Roasted and Salted Soybeans, 100 g for $2.08
Savour Spicy Broad Beans, 100 g $1,40
Broad beans are so good. So hard to be disciplined to not down a whole packet or two each sitting.
Still working on 3 or 4 packs from last time!
Anyone know what the sodium and sugar contents of these things??
11% sugar, 390 calories for 100g, not exactly healthy. Unless you consider potato chips also healthy.
Lol, bought 2
Could also just go to Woolworths and use your discounted GiftCards for an extra discount?
Spicy Broad Beans also available.
Woolies doesn't deliver a packet to my front door waiting for me when I get home from work….

Great tasty snack that just about everyone will enjoy. Our taste palette has diversified enough through the years that this would be akin to say, munching on a pack of Skittles or Pork Crackling and wash it down with guava juice. Lovely.
i like these.. but i find it funny to call it authentic, but i suppose it's authentic "wasabi flavour"
See below - what is called "wasabi" here is actually coloured horseradish with a tiny amount of Wasabi powder added. (Like these have.)
Unless it's real raw Wasabi (eg grated with a Japanese meal) - it's just cheap "wasabi flavoured" like the sauce in Sushi places.
i think you missed my point.
i know what it is.
i'm calling it an authentic "wasabi flavour"
lol
Exactly, it's still wasabi flavoured.
Time to all move on ffs
Lol
Can't see any real difference between your wording authentic "wasabi flavour", & how it's promoted as authentic wasabi flavoured.
So what point was I missing with your added " "?? Maybe give some explanation, rather than complain you weren't understood & lol!
And no quotation marks around the more contentious term "authentic"?
The vague term "authentic" is one of those words that has no definite meaning, so is used in advertising. It's a weasel word.
It's meaning only lies in the interpretation in the mind of the consumer! Its left up to you.
Used to reassure the consumer about a product they've never tried. It's authentic… Whatever that is!
Given the green artificially coloured horseradish found in sushi outlets is incorrectly but popularly known as "wasabi" - that is the "authentic" flavour most consumers will expect. It's what they're used to.
And the taste of this product's coating is similar to that of fake wasabi.
calling it an authentic "wasabi flavour"… is up to you. As you say, "i know what it is."
But it certainly doesn't have the flavour of actual Wasabi!! I've eaten good raw Wasabi root, while standing in a cold mountain stream in Japan. And freshly grated in restaurants there.
So I definitely wouldn't call it authentic "wasabi flavour"! It is neither authentic nor real wasabi flavour.
It's a tasty snack.
Whereas, the words on the label "Wasabi Flavoured" are defined.
"Wasabi Flavoured Peas" is governed by Food Labelling law. It has a meaning under law.
@INFIDEL: honestly, you missed the point again that I found it funny.
let me rephrase, as far as artificial flavours go, would you describe this as an artificial flavour that is an authentic artificial flavouring?
@slowmo: That was your point - that you found it somehow "funny"?
How is it funny??
I find your "point" very strange & uninformed!! No wonder I missed it!
as far as artificial flavours go…
There aren't any.
Its 70% peas.
And 30% coating (mainly glutinous rice, flour, corn starch, sugar, salt).
The major flavour ingredient listed - is natural Wasabi powder! Very authentic in the correctly named Wasabi flavoured peas!!
Along with small amount of flavour enhancers (631 - obtained from fermantation by bacteria & often found in instant noodles & potato chips, 627 - a natural sodium salt) - considered "natural flavours", commonly used for the umami taste.
That's it. Boringly mundane. Not funny at all!
The flavour is very similar to the green paste in sushi shops, which also contains a small amount of Wasabi powder.
@INFIDEL: that's because i found your verbose replies quite amusing, and kept missing the points.
you don't really need to repeat your talking points to every reply to every different commenter, this is not an email, and looking through the rest of your replies, while most points are accurate, it just reads like yourself trying to define and justify "wasabi flavour" while trying to show off your knowledge prowess about wasabi..
@slowmo: You just don't understand, but think things are "funny" when they're not.
We all have our failings.
Bye!
suppose it's authentic "wasabi flavour"
As the product contains 0.3% Wasabi powder + minimal other flavouring, & 70% Pea, it is legally defined as Wasabi Flavoured Peas under Australian Food Labelling law.
Using the correct term flavoured, just indicates the taste. That wasabi (if included as an ingredient), is a very minor amount.
These are commonly referred to as Wasabi Peas. BUT, to be sold under that description would require an uncomfortably large amount of Wasabi as an ingredient! And be very expensive!!
So no reason to put quotation marks around the product description - wasabi flavour! Lots of food is just flavoured.
@INFIDEL: What are your thoughts on Twisties 'real chicken flavor'?
Just as passionate about all your snacks?
:P
@G-rig: No just Wasabi😂
I love real Wasabi!
Most snack foods like crisps are flavoured products. And usually with none of the ingredient mentioned in the product label!!
(I don't buy them.)
So cant understand why slowmo has singled out this snack food description for attention as "wasabi flavour". At least it contains Wasabi! And meets labelling law.
@INFIDEL: Oh right, true, I don't mind the old beef noodles as a vegetarian when I know there's no beef.
Not real wasabi though is it.
Point is it's all junk food and shouldn't be had too often or taken too seriously.
@G-rig: My first wasabi peas for years. Contains real Wasabi 0.3% - which is fairly high as a flavouring in snack food.
Rarely eat what I don't prepare myself.
So almost never see these comments.
As a former vegetarian, reading labels was important. Travelling where I didn't speak the language - had me doing animal noises, to find out what the meal contained. Amused the kiddies.
@INFIDEL: All good mate, i don't eat meat eggs or dairy (well sometimes a little bit of dairy if it's like crisps.
Nice to prepare most stuff yourself- healthier and cheaper :)
Agree, a it's too easy for bad snacks and junk food to creep back into the diet.
@G-rig: At Uni on limited income, became a vegetarian on economic grounds. Lived with hippies in rainforest - vegetarians & vegans on philosophical grounds. Studied with Monks in Nepal - vegetarians on religious grounds.
I just liked my fruit & vegetables more than meat. Grew & sold them. So didn't need a reason.
Long ago established & ran free food distribution, plus free meals for needy - all vegetarian. It was cheaper & didn't need much refrigeration. Funded from my business.
My first time in years ordering groceries on Amazon - got a free trial. So added these peas to a mainly healthy list.
@INFIDEL: It's the way to go - I'm surprised more people aren't vego with the cost of food & all these animal-flu outbreaks.. not to mention the other environmental, health and ethical benefits/reasons.
@G-rig: Often people are time poor.
Learning how to prepare tasty healthy food without meat etc can be a challenge for some.
Harder than throwing a steak on the grill.
We are social creatures, who usually want to fit in. That often means pleasing & entertaining others.
All those justifications for their choice takes time & effort😉
@INFIDEL: It's easy people don't want to change and think eating meat is a show of wealth but also western culture. Also as you say a lot of people don't know how to cook and or stuck in their ways (ie meat and three veg)..
Hopefully things change more rapidly in the future, with further education (like how red meat is a group 1 carcinogen & cancer causing). There is no need to eat meat 3 times a day every day, just a lot of brain washing from the meat, dairy and egg industries over 50 years.
@G-rig: A well known frequent Deal poster runs a vegetarian food van at events. It raises money for the community👍
Visiting him, I was a little critical of selling fast vegetarian food. There are so many tastier & healthier dishes. But customers wanted it, was quick to prepare & serve.
I grew up eating meat 3 times a day…
In a family who were originally farmers. Not eating lots of meat was unpatriotic, mate! 🇦🇺
Made no sense to me.
Most are resistant to change.
Change happened fast in my family, after my Father had a major heart attack. No more meat. Vegetarian diet!
@G-rig: I used to see an opportunity to serve delicious vegetarian food as an opportunity to teach people to do that for themselves.
The homeless I served - didn't realise the tasty casseroles had no meat in them. And how cheap & easy it was to prepare.
Certainly didn't push it onto them. But if they wanted to help prepare the next meal, they were welcomed to help, & learn.
*Am now a limited meat eater.
In South Korea, stayed in a Buddhist temple. It's a popular tourist activity.
They were concerned I might not be able to survive 1 day without meat! They couldn't believe an Aussie would eat rice, tofu, seaweed, etc. Enjoyed it so much.
Highly recommend TempleStays!
@INFIDEL: Good job, people probably wouldn't eat vegetarian if you told them even if it was delicious.. ridiculous.
@G-rig: I travel to experience cultures, people & of course food! Sharing food is a wonderful form of hospitality. Best enjoyed away from cities.
So as not to offend my hosts, I never refuse. Having dietary restrictions (eg vegetarian) can limit many wonderful interactions. (Sharing & joining-in are such important social traits. It builds rapport.)
So I am no longer vegetarian. (Have eaten strange things most would refuse. Just don't ask what it is!) But hosts are often aware of dietary restrictions of many Foreigners.
Having experiences of foods & life beyond our mundane habits is enriching!
…even eating vegetarian food that many would never think they'd like😉
Before travelling, had my own consultancy taking successful corporate clients beyond their normal limits. To experience life differently - seeing the world through the eyes of a child. Being creative.
A client (State manager of a multinational) played on my office floor with soft toys. In 5 minutes he created a new product for his company, worth an estimated $300M per year in sales. He was surprised!!
New experiences can also be very profitable😉
@INFIDEL: "A client (State manager of a multinational) played on my office floor with soft toys. In 5 minutes he created a new product for his company, worth an estimated $300M per year in sales."
What was the product and where can I buy it?
@UncleRico: Sorry UncleRico, you probably aren't a potential customer!
The product was a security system to protect weapons for the military. A high profit niche market.
His company was a specialist in enormous bank vaults.
And no, we weren't playing with toy guns😄
My work helped the client access to their own creative processes. I didn't need to understand their work.
@INFIDEL: No matter, I probably wasn't going to buy one anyway.
Not bad for five minutes work in the cabbage patch…
@UncleRico: 5 min is often all it took to change clients. It's getting to really know them that takes time!
Marketing jargon
Its the opposite of Marketing jargon.
It's the law (Legislation Act 2003).
Under Australian Food Standards - labeling rules, you can't sell the product as Wasabi Peas when Wasabi (powder) is only 0.3% of ingredients.
Primarily peas (70%), coating (mainly glutinous rice & corn starch), plus a tiny amount of flavouring (including Wasabi powder).
So labelled as wasabi flavoured peas.
Same with the "wasabi" (sauce) at sushi places - it's just a wasabi flavoured sauce.
It primarily contains horseradish - which gives us the characteristic hit up the nose, unlike real Wasabi!
Contains almost no Wasabi. Even the green colour is fake.
You should dob on them..
Sounds like you'll be returning them hey?
Luckily it says flavoured, just like most beef flavoured instant noodles don't contain any beef.
@G-rig: But the naming is totally correct under Australian law - as I said!
Primarily peas (70%)… plus a tiny amount of flavouring (including Wasabi powder).
So labelled as wasabi flavoured peas.
Good Wasabi is an expensive ingredient, do the consumer should not expect much of it in their bargain priced snacks!
Calling anything flavoured - it doesn't have to contain any of the product, just flavoured like it. That's why many cheaper food products are labelled as "flavoured". It just tells the consumer the flavour to expect.
Already enjoyed a packet. Very mild favouring to what I am used to.
@INFIDEL: A lot of false advertising then, but agree with you I don't expect much for 'flavoured' convenient foods. None of it is healthy anyway but don't mind the odd wasabi pea.
Won't sweat it too much for $1.40 (got a couple), but not the kind of thing I get often ;)
false advertising then
No! Perfectly legal under Food Labelling law. It clearly states its peas with wasabi flavour - which it is.
0% wasabi, but artificial wasabi flavouring would be OK by labelling law. It's just the flavour of Wasabi.
Consumers need to understand & read labelling.
Label states 0.3% Wasabi powder as part of the flavour. Expecting much higher would be unrealistic at RRP$2.
@G-rig: I doubt many Australians have tasted Wasabi - to know what it really tastes like.
Most think the fake, coloured, horseradish sauce in little packets at sushi places IS Wasabi!! So wrong.
I've eaten freshly grated raw Wasabi in restaurants, bought fresh Wasabi, & walked through fields of it growing in cold mountain streams - in Japan. Even had wasabi soft serve there (nothing special). And seen (but too expensive for me to eat) in Tasmania.
Still enjoy sushi shop "wasabi" - always love the hit of horseradish! Ate good hot horseradish long before my first sushi experience.
But a very different experience to the real Wasabi!!
@INFIDEL: Yeah i've had the real stuff, in authentic sushi shops and in japan.. really gets up ya nose haha
That small packet stuff from takeaway sushi shpos varies a lot and obviously made to a price. Some still have a fair bit of kick.
@G-rig: Oh dear! Japanese sushi shop "wasabi" is also fake! I certainly eat there, but I know that.
Good Wasabi is much more subtle & sold in different grades. Far too expensive for sushi shops! It doesn't give that "up ya nose" kick of horseradish.
Unless you ate at a top restaurant in Japan, with fresh Wasabi grated in front of you, it's unlikely you have experienced real Wasabi! (I was lucky enough to get to know a chef who served me some high grade Wasabi. A real treat.) Or bought quality Wasabi fresh & prepared it yourself.
@INFIDEL: Japanese shops in Japan..
I know what you are referring to.
more solid & drier.
Anyway that's that mate.
@G-rig: No, Wasabi is an expensive root. That is usually grated.
Nothing like the fake "wasabi" that is served with sushi in Japanese shops in Japan..
I eat there on my many travels in Japan (mainly in rural & remote areas) - but understand it's not Wasabi! Being aware does not spoil the experience.
That is the problem with labelling food as "wasabi flavoured" - most people don't know what real Wasabi tastes like.
But they think they do - the artificially green coloured horseradish served as "wasabi" in sushi shops!
So that fake becomes the standard for all other "wasabi flavoured" foods!
Wasabi Flavour. Hmm, I am out.
Username does not check out.
You do realise what is generally called wasabi here isn't Wasabi?
It's just coloured horseradish with a tiniest amount of wasabi. "Wasabi flavoured".
Eating freshly grated Wasabi is an expensive treat - I've enjoyed on a Wasabi farm & in restaurants in Japan. Also grown here in very limited supply from Tassie etc.
Still bought these.
0.3% Wasabi powder, 70% peas.
Certainly had hotter "wasabi flavoured" peas - very mild.
Finally a way to get more healthy food into diet, without the guilt. Thank you OP!
How are these? I usually buy the brand in the Pringle like can, tried a different brand once and the peas were hard instead of crispy, not nice on the teeth at all.
Back in stock - ordered more👍
