I try to eat well, but I’m not always successful. My biggest downfall is salty, crunchy food (like Doritos or Sun Chips). So while cruising the organic section of the grocery store a few weeks ago, I caught site of a new offering at my store – Sensible Foods Organic Sweet Corn.  I took a look at it and, not knowing exactly what to expect, bought a package and tried them. 

They are great!  They are crunchy but not hard, and they are a little sweet (they are sweet corn after all!).  The greatest thing is that the whole package is 70 calories (only 6 from fat), lots of fiber, and the ingredients are “100% Organic Sweet Corn, Sea Salt, and Nothing Else.”  I liked it so much that I bought three more packages the next time I went to the grocery store, and also bought one of each of the other three flavors that were available at my grocery store: Cherry Berry, Orchard Blend, and Tropical Blend. 

Of the three fruity types I tried, tropical blend had the most variety, in my opinion.  My favorite, though, was orchard blend… it’s a bit of a stronger flavor than the others, but reminded me of eating fruits from my grandparents’ house… we used to pick raspberries and blackberries and strawberries and apples when my cousins and I were all kids.  Those were the freshest, strongest-flavored fruits ever, and I could taste a hint of them in the Orchard Blend, just like when I was eight, visiting Mimi and Gran for the summer.

Do yourself a favor and pick these up, even if it’s just to try them once.  I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised – and come back for more!

BTW- I am not getting paid for this post, but I’ve become a fast evangelist for Sensible Foods! If you do try them (or if you already have), leave a comment and let everybody know what you thought.

Namaste,
