Serving size : 38 CHIPS!  SO THERE IS DEFINITELY FLEXIBILITY FOR SOME PORTION CONTROL...  (don't be afraid to count out that smaller portion... 1/4 a serving is 9.5 chips... just enough to satisfy a craving)

Calories: 120
Fat: 2
Total Carbs: 21
Dietary Fiber: 1
Sugars: 0
Protein: 3

Normally when I look at a product that has 21 carbs, I walk on by. However, I did a double take when I saw that the serving size was 38 chips! I asked the lady who worked in Trader Joe's behind the sample counter, "Have you tried these before?" And she said yes and she liked them very much. As a matter of fact, I originally asked about another type of chip which stats were not as good. She said out of both, she preferred the edamame crackers.

Not only that, she opened them up for me and let me try a few. They are really crunchy, a mix between a chip and a cracker. They provide a little salty flavor, but it is not overpowering at all. It is just perfect. And, while they taste great alone, I picked up a jar of their garlic salsa and had a few with my lunch (chicken breast). They are wonderful!

The label says "thin" and "mini" which probably equate a picture of very small slithers about as big around as a cheerio. Wrong! These are very thin (which is probably why they are crunchy) but they are bigger around in size than I thought they would be. Not as thick as a Triscuit, but probably as big in diameter.

You should give them a try. They actually remind me of those sea salt rice chips that we were discussing a few weeks ago. And, you could toss some of these on a platter at a party not just for your guests, but you could enjoy a few with some salsa or hummus as well!

Darn it! I was just there yesterday and didn't see this until today.  I'll have to try them.  I tried the True North Pistachio crackers and they are very good to the point of being dangerous for me, but the stats were not bad and the serving size is pretty good sized.
