REVIEW:

OK.   There is really nothing we can say about this product other than it is inedible. Whatever these chips are …a concoction that tastes like kelp cardboard… has very reasonable sodium levels at 90 mgs and 120 calories  for 14 chips.  But gosh golly gee the taste is just…horrible.  There is of course a requisite  back of house story  …Brad was an overweight man with high cholesterol, low energy, and sleeping problems.  He was on a raw diet to .. As with other Raw products perhaps the Raw community tastes this differently.  We who are not Raw practitioners simply cannot recommend this product…all the health benefits in terms of content but simply inedible…too bad…

Taste:  The taste reminded us a lot of seaweed.  It’s good for the first 2 seconds, but after that, it gets bitter.  This is probably because we are not raw food eaters as we have not liked many of the raw food products that have come on our tasting table.  If you eat raw food, you will probably think it is delicious. 

Labeling: The labeling on the front is very simple.  It looks like it is stamped on.  Out back is a sticker with Brad’s story along with the nutrition facts. 

Packaging: The packaging is a brown paper bag lined with plastic so it is probably not recyclable.  It is nice that it is resealable though because you probably won’t be able to finish these chips in 1 sitting.
