REVIEW:

When you look at these Southern Indian treats, you might think that they are sea horse tails.  What you will find is a hidden gem of a snack.  They are extremely crunchy, and slightly salty.  These are great crumbled into your favorite soup, eaten with dip, or just simply eaten by itself.  We chose to eat it on its own and they were very tasty. 

These Southern Indian treats are perfect to snack on.  They have a ton of flavor and are very crunchy.  The flavors are very strong and may not be for everyone.  The flavor starts off mellow, but right at the end, the strong spice kicks in.  So if you’re a fan of spicy food, you will probably be a fan of these.  The texture of this snack is great.  It is extremely crunchy.  If you have sensitive teeth, you might want to be a little careful with these though as they are a little hard.

Overall, we liked these Rice Murkoo a lot.  They had a nice spicy flavor and a great crunchy texture.  If you’re a fan of spicy food and a fan of crunchy savory snacks, this is the one for you.

Taste: These little crunchy curls taste great.  They are a little on the hard side, so if you have sensitive teeth, you might want to stay away, but if not, snack away! 

Labeling: The labeling is very simplistic and consists of only a sticker on the front.  One thing missing from this package was nutrition facts.  There were no nutrition facts on this package. 

Packaging: Non-recyclable plastic packaging.  The packaging is pretty brittle so it will tear pretty easily.  These were so good that we finished them in 1 sitting, but if you want to keep it for several snacking sessions, I would recommend moving it to a resealable sandwich bag.
