Flamous Falafel






A little information about Flamous Falafel chips. They were inspired by the flavors and spices from the East Mediterranean, Flamous Brands was formed from the idea to create the world's first and best tasting falafel chip. Falafel, which is a traditional vegetable-based patty made with chickpeas, is known throughout the world for its distinctive flavors and is usually served with hummus or yogurt 100% organic, and gluten free organic, non-GMO and gluten free chip varieties, which include Original Falafel, Spicy Falafel, and Sprouted Multigrain Zatar. 


I was lucky enough to get to try them recently. I was pleasantly surprised. They are a very nice chip with a bite to them. They are a very healthy chip. Packed full of multigrain, 
brown rice, flax, buckwheat, wholebeans, lava beans, black beans, onions, spinach,green bell peppers, sesame seeds and so many other healthy ingredients. They are so good they are kid friendly approved. Even the most finicky eater will shock you. Like my child there is no way she would sit down and eat those vegetables. But with these chips there was no question asked. Within her trying them she said, Mom these are good. Oh yeah one question was asked she asked me so Mom where's the salsa. These would go great with that. I had to agree and we both sat down and ate them with salsa. If your wanting a new healthy snack I say go out and find these chips. I think you will agree with me and my daughter they are a great healthy find.
