Tasty and good
I have tried another brand of pea chips and this brand is just as good. For the price I would buy these if the other brand is not on sale. I hope they make other flavors of this kind.

Not for me
The taste of these Green Pea Crisps was bland, and the texture was very off-putting. It really tasted like the pea pod, not the peas. I did not like this and will have to throw it out.
Verified member
Unimpressed
I found this product to be very bland. It was nice and crunchy. Tasted like split pea soup and I, personally, would rather have the soup.
Verified member
Bland, needs more flavor
I found that the crisps were a little on the bland side with no real flavor. I don't really use salt that often but salt or some sort of seasoning would have really helped here. My toddler didn't really care for them either.
Verified member
These are as expected.
These are very low sodium and bland tasting. They are a healthy alternative to potato chips if your looking for crunch, but not much flavor.
Verified member
The package looked healthy.
The product was nice and crispy but it was too dry. Was better when dipped in Ranch Dressing.

Great light crunchy snack
Low cost product for a healthy, light, crunchy snack for entire family. Great alternative for chips.

A light, crispy snack
These crisp green beans are a great light snack food. They aren't oily like other snacks and have a good crunch. They could use a little more spice for flavor.
Verified member
good tasting, and filling the serving size
Really good tasting. Not salty. I can taste the peas a bit. Filling and Satisfying Love the crunch
Verified member
Don't like the taste
I was expecting these crisps to taste similar to sugar snap peas but I was sadly disappointed. The taste is almost nonexistant but does leave an after taste that I can't quite identify. The crunch is nice and satisfying and similar to potato stix but this in definitely not the product for me, I'll stick to actual sugar snap peas from now on.
Verified member
I know they are healthy.
I was kinda of disappointed in this product. The taste at first was okay. The after taste just lingered in your mouth. The rest of the family tried them and felt the same. I may try a different flavor. Might like them better.
Verified member
Tastes fine
The peas taste alright. I like the brand name version better but these are good for the price.

Flavorless Green Pea Crisps
I found that this product is a healthier alternative to other snacks, but it does not have much flavor or seasoning. I think if there was a type of seasoning on it, it would be much more tasty.

Delicious organic vegan snack.
I found that this snack was delicious and crunchy. The peas had a light coating that was very good. It was a great snack for those who are trying to eat healthy organic and vegan.

Baked peas good
I found that baked peas are a healthy alternative to saltier snacks and higher cholesterol items

Very good baked snacks.
This snack is a great alternative to potato chips. Its baked which is even better
Verified member
Not good
Our family did not like the taste. It ephod not be something wet would snack on. My toddler did not like it as well. It would work as a good luck up snack for a toddler but the taste was bad.

Great snack!
This is a great gluten free non GMO option snack for kids and adults alike!

A bit bland
They don't taste bad, but they are a bit bland. Maybe would taste better dipped in something.

Loved it--ate one bag the day I bought
I really liked the fact it was low on calories but great on taste! It fits in with my diet plan.
Verified member
Surprising taste
I thought these were gonna be nasty but they really aren't that bad for being a healthy alternative.
Verified member
I'll get them again.
I love green peas. The price was great for a healthy snack. I'm always wanting something good to eat, healthy. The consistency was a little off for me, but the all around picture makes this a snack I'll get again.
Verified member
Not as good as expected
They were crunchy and takes care of that craving, but I expected more flavor. I do like that they are organic and a healthy alternative to chips.
Verified member
A healthier choice, but lacking flavor :(
We all want to make better choices when it comes to snacking in between meals. While the premise of these baked pea snacks sounds good, in reality they don't deliver in the taste department. In fact they really don't have much of a taste, and herein lies the problem. They're not naturally sweet like peas are. I understand that they are baked, and they do have a good crunch to them, but they are just plain bland. I think a sprinkle of sea salt would do wonders. And they are very dry, and drying to the mouth. I think the salt would stimulate the saliva glands and help out with the overall dryness.
Verified member
Taste great!
I am always looking for new healthy snacks, and I finally found a good one! These taste great, but are also healthy!
Verified member
Delicious affordable crisps!
What a great snack food! I love them, my kids love them, they're a healthier alternative to regular crackers or chips, and I don't have to fight my children to consume peas!
Verified member
Better than what I expected
I was not sure how good these would taste but wanted to give them a try. They tasted better than I thought they would, although they are quite bland. I think I would have enjoyed them more if they had some seasoning on them.

Green Pea Crisps
I absolutely love the green pea crisps. They are low in sodium gluten free and are non gmo. They are healthier and better than chips. They are very tasty. They have a great flavor and are very crunchy. You will easily be hooked. They are s great snack and go well in a salad too. I am definitely going to buy them again.
Verified member

These are a great alternative for a healthy snack.
The price is great. The quality is great. They are nice, light, and crisp. The flavor is a bit bland but they are not bad. I would buy them again,.
Verified member
Crisp, different, fun
The pea crisps has a nice texture but the flavor wasn't very strong. I think because it's made from peas, it wasn't overpowering. However, in place of conventional chips, these were a nice alternative.
Verified member
Healthy alternative to chips
I found that the Pea Crisps actually do satisfy my desire for a salty snack. At first the flavor was unexpected but the more I ate the more I wanted a few more. There is just the right amount of salt and crunch without the greasy feeling of chips. I would eat these again!
Verified member
Great low calorie snack
The first bite was a little strange because I'm not used to non-salty or non-sugarly snack. After initial adjustment, I really loved it. It has unique but very pleasant green pea flavor. I've never felt that I'm eating healthy food before when I'm snacking. However, with this one I felt I'm actually eating healthy food with every bite. It's a great low calorie snack for those who want to cut calories or simply eat healthy. I'll definitely buy it again.
Verified member
Not great flavor, but good crunch
If you are looking for something different to dip, these would probably do. They did not taste great to me, but my kids did enjoy them.
Verified member
Good Crunchy Snack
This is a great crunchy snack. It has a very mild flavor and has a great big crunch. I reach for these when I would normally reach for chips. They are mild in flavor and satisfy my need to crunch. The calorie content is low so I can feel free to snack without the guilt and grease of chips. For a great go to snack, it has less sodium then most items you could choose.
Verified member
Surprisingly tasty healthy snack
Having tried similar products in the past, I was pleasantly surprised by how good these tasted. They provide a nice cruch with a mild pea flavor and a costing reminiscent of a cheese coating, without any dairy. They are relatively low fat and also provide respectable amounts of protein and fiber.
Verified member
Good product, but needs more salt.
I really liked the crunch and the product, but I found that it needed more salt to bring out the flavor. Perhaps the bab could be made resealable.
Verified member
Budget baked snack option
If you're looking for a cheap edamame-like snack option, this may be for you. It is low in sodium, so it lacks the saltiness of edamame, and overall I found the taste a little bland. But at barely a dollar for the whole bag, it's hard to expect too much.
Verified member
Very bland, does not taste like green peas at all
I don't normally eat these snacks, but wow, this was so bland and flavourless it makes me glad I don't eat snacks like this. Like seriously, who thought it was a good idea to make this?
Verified member
Good for the price but could be improved.
The product had a strong pea flavor but was missing additional spices which made it overall on the bland side. Great crispness and the price was really good for this type of snack.
Verified member
Delicious light snack
This is a great healthy treat. You can eat multiple handfuls of this product and not feel guilty or maybe just a little bit guilty. Great for a filler snack when you're hungry for a little something.
Verified member
Crispy and good
I find these really compare positively to the name brand pea crisps. These are crunchy and have a small hint of salt. They are delicious and my kids love them.
Verified member
They were edible, but I would not buy them again.
They were edible, but I would never buy them again. They did not have much flavor and they needed salt. You could taste that they were just fried rice flour with a little bit of pea in them. They gave the illusion that they were a healthy snack, but they were oily and not healthy.
Verified member
Cheap light airy snack
I liked that this was a cheap healthy snack. They were airy, light and crispy. I'm not a fan of green vegetables but these were better than most.
Verified member
Gluten free, low sodium snack
I found this product to have a nice crispy texture but I do not like the flavor of the peas or the fact that it does not have any salty taste to it. Way to bland for my liking.
Verified member
It's a healthy snack!
It's not only healthy but also very tasty.Would like to purchase it again.

Good snack alternative
Was a good crunchy snack that could be a great alternative to standard unhealthy chips. Not sure how they compare nutrition wise but I at least felt like I was eating healthier!
Verified member
Nothing to write home about.
These snacks do not have the strong "pea" flavor that another brand, which shall remain unnamed, has. I personally like that "pea" flavor. With some snacks, once you start it is hard to stop. With these, I ate three or four and easily set the bag down and walked away.
Verified member
good snack
it is a really good snack, little bit too salty but definitely worth the money

Crispy and crunchy

Decent Chip Alternative
The pea crisps were good, but a little bland. The texture is nice and crispy, but I couldnt really eat more than a few. I prefer something with a little more flavor. I would definitely recommend them to people who love potato chips, as they have very similar textures.
Verified member
healty substitute for chips
The green pea crisps are supposed to be a sub for chips. They are crispy and had a mild pea taste. Could use more salt.
Verified member
good snack
This is a healthy snack that you can feel good about eating. The first bite was a little disappointing. I thought they lacked flavor. But after a few more bites, they tasted better.
Verified member
a light and tasty snack food!
This is a really good snack food. Much better than potato chips. They are light and airy and not greasy and have a smooth taste and texture. I plan on using these as a snack or to go along with lunches!
Verified member
Good price, but not very tasty
I did not particularly enjoy the taste of the Pea Crisps. I liked the texture and crunchiness, but the actual flavor just wasn't my personal favorite. I do think they are good value though.
Verified member
Kids like, I do not
My kids thought these were great, and that's awesome, but I simply didn't enjoy them. There's no particular reason.. I just didn't find them appealing.
Verified member
It appears its a pea snack...
on the bag it appears you are going to get some sort of freeze dried/crisp'd snap pea.. what your getting is corn meal mixed with some peas, which is shaped into the appearance of a snap pea. They would be a great snack to go along with something possibly, but by their selves they are pretty tasteless. can barely taste any pea flavor unfortunately.
Verified member
Very safisfied with my purchase.
Great snack for myself and for my little guy. He's a picky eater so these are great.
Verified member
Great with dip
Alone these snacks are not the best, needs some salt. They do have a great crunch for being gluten free and are crispy and almost airy. They are strong enough to hold up to dips and are great with a veggie dip or ranch. I find a lot of gluten free crispy snacks tend to get gummy after a few chips/crackers, these did not and have a pleasant texture. Close to a funyun mouth feel. I keep a bag on my desk for a healthier snack when stress eating, satisfies my crunch need.
Verified member
Good value and great taste
I found that it really helped with my hunger and was fulfilling. Love this product.

Good for Healthy Snacking
I have tried a variety of similar products and the Simply Nature version stays pretty much in line with the rest of them. If you're not familiar with this type of snack, it could be an acquired taste, but for me, they have a nice crunch and flavor for healthy snacking.

Uneventful
We were anxious to try these snacks but found them somewhat tasteless and unsatisfying.

5g Protein, 3g Fiber in 1 snack serving
What a great healthy snack! So high in fiber and protein. The pea taste is also fantastic, the whole family wanted to eat this one!
Verified member
Healthy, affordable snack for everyone.
I enjoy eating pea crisps of all kinds, and was pleasantly surprised to find that Aldi was offering their own variety of pea crisps. These crisps tasted as good as, if not better, than the big-name brands found at Costco. I would definitely buy them again during my next visit to Aldi.

Help! These Green Peas Crisps need more flavor
These Green Pea Crisps definitely need more flavor. They are bland and taste a bit off. I love that they are non-GMO verified and contain ingredients I can pronounce. I like they contain a decent amount of fiber.

Kind of bland

Verified member
Good snack
This pea snack is good, crispy healthier than others...it is overall good, but for me it needs more salt
Verified member
Unusual, but they grow on you.
I expected these to be something like Veggie Stix, which I feel so-so about. These had more heft to them...an unusual flavor, but I'd buy them again. I like that they're gluten free and just a tiny bit of salty taste, not too salty.
Verified member
Green Pea Crisps were a fun, different snack.
The Green Pea Crisps were a nice change from potato chips. Being baked, low in sodium, and gluten-free make you feel you are eating a healthier snack. They also have 50% less fat than regular potato chips, but definitely are way different than potato chips. I wouldn't compare the two, but did like a little change of pace and will add this item to my future snacking purchases. I can even pronounce and recognize all the ingredients that are in them which is a good thing:)

Good once we added salt
Both my husband and I didn't like these at first. However, we added some salt, and they were actually pretty good then.

Great snack
I love these pea crisps. I love the nutritional value and the price compared to other pea crisps. These are an easy thing to send to school for snacks for my kids. I feel good about giving them, and they like the taste.

Healthy and low-salt snack
It's not going to taste like a potato chip, but it's a good alternative and healthy option for snacking.
Verified member
Prefect Amount of Crunch
This would be the perfect healthy snack if you're craving something crunchy and/or salty. It's a little bland tasting, but the crunch is addicting. It's a great value for the price, and on par with the competition. Pros: I like the long french fry like shape compared to what is offered by the competition. Cons: I wish there were more flavors and the bag zipped closed.

Great for the late night munchies,
Great product to reach for in lieu of potato chips when you want something crunchy. Less sugar and fewer calories. Found them to satisfy the need for a small snack.

Not a fan unfortunately
I have tried similar products to this in the past and wasn't a fan and unfortunately I'm still not a fan of dried snap peas.

Pea Crisps
These were a good alternative to potato chips when I wanted a salty, crunchy snack. I really liked the texture and crunch, and the pea taste came through mildly.
Verified member
Kinda tasteless
I was glad to try this product for Shopper Army as I'm always looking for healthy snacks. This product is listed as LOW Sodium. I would rename it NO Sodium. Completely lacks salt, which I apparently need in my snacks. Of course it wouldn't be as healthy if it had all the salt I like but it does keep me from buying it.
Verified member
Green pea crisps were delicious
These green pea crisps give you the crunch of a chip without all the fat and sodium. My children didn't love these, but I did. Don't fade at all next to big name brand versions. I would actually buy these again
Verified member
GREAT HEALTHY SNACK
I am not a real green pea lover, but I do really like these pea crisps....they have a nice crunch, the necessary salt always needed for a good snack, but they are more healthy than normal snacks! They have 5g of protein, and 4g of fiber...which to me, is very important! They are a great alternative for a great tasting, healthier choice in snacking!
Verified member
Actually tastes like peas!
I thought peas would just be the "healthy" ingredient that the manufacturer could stick on the label for marketing purposes, but these actually taste like peas! They could use a little more seasoning (not salt, please, but something for flavor), but overall they're a good little snack.
Verified member
Great pricing
This product had a great crunch. It looked just like the name brand product but it's taste wasn't as good.

I don't the flavor
I am not a fan of the flavor, but I'm also not the biggest fan of green beam flavors. My small daughter did enjoy them. This would not be a snack i would choose.
Verified member
May be healthy, but not tasty for me
I have tried the original Snapea Chrisps by Harvest Snaps before, and, though they were OK, they did not satisfy my salty snack craving at all, way too bland. I was reluctant to try this Aldi brand, and I was right - I did not like them either. Compare to the original, these are a little harder, and look more like sticks and less than pea pods. Taste? - my child described it perfectly as "corn chip mixed with dry pasta". Yes, it has this strange, like you are chewing on dry pasta, aftertaste. Definitely, not enough salt for me (I did not taste any), bland and boring. I try to eat healthy, but I can not sacrifice on the taste at all. Will not buy those.
Verified member
Tasteless Crisps
I love the concept of this product - healthy, natural vegetable snacks. Also, the texture had a wonderful crispy crunch. Unfortunately, the Green Pea Crisps were tasteless. I had a hard time eating these because they were so bland. Add some major spices, and these may actually be edible.

Tasty Peas
Tasty peas for sure! Light and crunchy. The kids love the snap peas and its a great alternative to chips. This brand def compares equally to other brands yet this one is soooo much cheaper for the same great taste!! Highly recommend!!
Verified member
Good choice besides chips
I probably wouldn't want to snack on these alone but they were great dipped in hummus along with red pepper strips. They were crunchy and a mild pea flavor.
Verified member
Green Pea Crisp
They are good but not much flavor-they should recommend a dip to try with them or offer better flavors besides the low sodium. I like that they have few ingredients which makes them seem like a healthier option. They would be great with some veggie dip.

A healthy snack and great all around product
These are one of my new go-to snacks and I reach for these now instead of other unhealthy alternatives. I feel better after a snacking session by eating these instead of other snacks.
Verified member
Bland compared to others.
We have had similar pea crisps from Costco. They have additional flavor and we prefer that. These pea crisps do to taste like real peas, which is probably the goal the manufacturer is going for. Our three year old daughter did like then though.
Verified member
Not what I expected
I expected to find whole or small pieces of dehydrated peas rather than the dehydrated peas powder in this product. In addition, there was a great deal of rice flour mixed with the ground up pea powder. Sea salt was an ingredient, but you could barely taste it. Just didn't like this product.
Verified member
Healthy Crunch
I'm always on the lookout for healthier snacking options. I was looking forward to trying the green pea snack because it was affordable and had ingredients I felt comfortable serving to my loved ones. The crispy texture is satisfying. The taste is not overpowering-but it's not a flavor that I enjoyed 100%. It does taste like peas-and doesn't leave any annoying residues on your hands when consuming it. I would finish the product-but because of the taste-I wouldn't re-purchase this product.
