I’m not fond of wasabi before until I tasted a wasabi flavored potato chips one day when I bought it for cinema snacks. I’ll make a blog about that in my next post but for the meantime I’ll focus my attention to this cracker nuts. As I’ve said before, since I’m not fond of wasabi, I use snub this in the supermarket. But when I come to like the nostril-stinging taste of wasabi, I tried this one to see if this will taste as good as the wasabi flavored potato chips. Unlike the potato chips, the taste of this wasabi flavored craker nuts is mild compared to the potato chips. The flavor is superb with the mild flavor of wasabi. So I give this cracker nut thumbs up.

I think this cracker nuts need no more introductions because this has been a legend and a pioneer cracker nuts here in the Philippines. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe there were already cracker nuts here since the Spanish regime but this one have been one of my favorites since childhood. During childhood days I was always in my uncle’s grocery store and I see this cracker nuts every time and munch on them whenever I have a chance of getting one. It’s alright with my uncle because I’m treated like his own son and besides, the store is also owned by my father ( he is a part owner). Anyway about the nuts, the crunchy crispy taste is excellent and the crispy peanut inside is better that any other cracker nuts I’ve tasted. The salty flavoring is tolerable and it is the taste why it became popular.

Just like the package says, “Natural Flavor! Appetizingly Delicious!”. I agree because the watermelon seeds are of good quality. Not too hard or too salty unlike other products that’s hard to remove the kernel from the husk. Its easier to split the seeds in half. The size is average and the kernel is not dry and tastes good also. Unlike some low quality seeds that seems to be bigger but the kernel is dried up or shriveled and sometimes has a foul taste.

“Enjoy Popperoo Candy Popcorn immediately after opening. Prolonged exposure to open air may affect crispiness.” This is the note at the back of the package. Yes it will definitely affect the quality so better consume it immediately after opening. A kind of popcorn with caramel coating which is suited to watching TV if you are a couch potato or watching movies.

As much as I don’t like to make a not so nice comment, this version of watermelon seed is average. The seeds are not too big or too small. Just right if you are not a picky eater.

First of all I want to describe the label: premium soft crunch and fortified with vitamin A. The taste and crunchiness of this peanut cracker is ok although there is a known and favorite brand around the market which is Nagaraya. Anyway this is better than the other peanut crackers other brand because it is not hard to chew and has crispy and crunchy coating.

The package says it has 50% dietary fiber, 24% Vitamin C, 17% protein, 10% Iron. The green peas are imported according to the label at the back. I don’t know why it is imported from the USA since we have farmers that sell green peas locally. Maybe the imported ones are better. Anyway the green peas are good to eat. I think it is fried and then salted with all the other stuffs included while making this product. It is also crispy and not hard to chew so it is a great addition to your snacks if you love fried or dried nuts.

Butong pakwan is a Filipino word for watermelon seeds. This snack has been a long time favorite of Filipinos. Can be bought on sari-sari stores on small packaging. The one I bought is 100 grams pack and the seeds are bigger than other watermelon seeds sold in groceries or supermarket. It’s also not very salty and the seeds easy to break by biting the edges until the seeds break in half. Just to remind you, eating this stuff needs good dentures.

A little harder to chew than the known peanut cracker brand but the shape is bigger and solid. At first I thought it was bitter because of the barbecue flavoring but later as I was continue eating it with my family I kind a like the taste.
