REVIEW:
These Edward & Sons Purple Rice & Black Sesame Exotic Rice Toast crackers are the same as we had a review for yesterday, but a different variety. Same great texture as the one from yesterday, but we actually like these much better. You can really taste the purple rice in there. The flavor reminds me of the purple rice packages you would get at your Asian market or Vietnamese sandwich shop. The flavor goes nicely with the black sesame flavor as well.
The flavor on this cracker was even lighter than the Jasmine Rice & Spring Onion, which was nice. I compared the nutrition facts of the two varieties and I was surprised to see pretty different numbers. The biggest difference was in the sodium content. These Purple Rice & Black Sesame crackers had only 35mg of sodium per serving, whereas the Jasmine Rice & Spring Onion crackers had 140mg of sodium per serving. Both of these numbers are reasonable, but it’s surprising to see such a big difference. We prefer the Purple Rice & Black Sesame crackers and after seeing the nutrition facts, it’s the clear winner.
Taste: Great light flavor of purple rice, great light, yet crispy texture, and nice firmness. Also a plus is that there wasn’t an aftertaste like the Jasmine Rice & Spring Onion variety.
Labeling: The labeling is exactly like the Jasmine Rice & Spring Onion variety that we had a review for yesterday, just with a different picture on the front. Here is the labeling section from yesterday. “The labeling is very attractive with nice pictures on the side showing the different varieties of the crackers with gourmet toppings by a chef in California. These crackers are also vegan not to mention gluten free. They use 2 icons on the front of the box. Usually when I see an icon similar to the one on this packaging, my first thought is that it is certified. Doing a little more analyzing, I realized that these crackers are not in fact certified. Instead, I believe that the icons are just there to signify that these crackers are vegan and gluten free. A little tricky, but this teaches us to always pay attention to the labeling.”
Packaging: The packaging is also the same as the crackers from yesterday… here is the packaging section from yesterday. “The packaging is very attractive, yet it is a little wasteful. It has typical double packaging as is the norm for crackers. Inside the box are 2 individually wrapped trays with 2 servings per tray. I understand that it might be more convenient for people on the go, but if you think about it, It’s actually triple packaging.“
