Boulder Canyon Rice & Adzuki Bean Artisan Snack Chips

I’m so excited when I go to Whole Foods and find new gluten free treats.  I’m not a big chip eater, but I was having a party and wanted to have a pita like chip that would be great for dipping in hummus.  I’ve seen the Boulder Canyon Rice & Adzuki Bean chips before, but I never bought them because I didn’t know what an Adzuki bean was and I wasn’t sure if they would taste good. According to Wikipedia, Adzuki beans are grown in East Asia and are commonly used for making red bean paste.  I had no idea!

I was pleasantly surprised to find that these chips are really good.  They are very thin and have a great savory flavor, almost like garlic or some type of spice, and a subtle hint of sweetness. These are definitely not pita style chips in any respect, but I didn’t mind at all.  I didn’t even bother with dipping them in hummus because they tasted great right out of the bag!

    I had no idea Bill! They taste really good even if their packaging/product might be a bit misleading. I'm a big fan of corn chips in general so maybe that's why I like it.

    Boulder Canyon Rice and Adzuki Bean chips are just another chip that is misleading consumers by their product label. The chips contain primarily corn! Of course they pick and choose which ingredients they want to promote. In fact they say right on the bag that they may substitute black beans for Adzuki! Read the label. It is a corn chip masking as a bean chip.
