Anyone try these? What do you think of them as a toddler snack?

they are heavily processed. I thought they would be great but then I realized they are processed like potato chips and shaped to look like peas.
Peas are naturally sweet, my kids will snack on them frozen or room temp which they won't do with ANY other veggie. You could try snap peas and dip in fun stuff. HOnestly I think regular peas with butter might be a better option to these just b/c they are so processed. I forget which oil they are made with. THey are definitely better than goldfish crackers or something, not much better than potato chips though. |

| They're a LOT better for you than potato chips! Much more protein and fiber, lower in fat, very low in sodium, and actually pretty packed with vitamins and minerals. They're made with like a total of 5 ingredients - and the oil is Canola oil. Not bad for "processed" food. |

| They are delicious and my 3 year old loves them. We have also purchased the Calbee brand at Safeway. |

| They've taken the snap peas, cooked it, pureed it, added some ingredients, and then pressed it into the form of a snap pea and baked it. It's definitely processed, but I will buy it on occasion for a easy to pack snack. |

| My only problem with them is that they are delicious and I always end up eating the whole 3.5 serving bag (~450 calories for the bag) |

| The Calbee ones are much better. |

| LOVE Inner Peas. So does my 1 year old. He doesn't eat a lot of vegetables so I give him these sometimes to help up his "green things" consumption. Also bought a package of Veggie Straws at Costco and he's been loving those too. |

| They are pretty tasty but very greasy and salty. |

| I wouldn't hesitate to give these to a toddler! My 5 yo would need portion control, so I'd ration them for him. |

| I am ADDICTED to them. Haven't given them to my toddler yet, but if I do, and he likes them, I can imagine me fighting him over them. |

| I'm addicted to them. I will eat the whole bag if I'm not careful. |

| Is there a way to make an inner peas product on our own? |

| I'm really picky about my toddler's food but I do let her have these on occasion. She gets a few then I finish the bag when she isn't looking. |

| These products are made with pea flour, a great high-protein product relative to our shelf-stable alternatives. |
