Corn Nuts - Chile Picante con limon Flavor


Corn Nuts brand fried corn kernel food product is a delightful taste treat for the vegan couple on the go.

When we drove to Boone last weekend we stopped for some snacks and got a package of Chile Picante con limon flavored ones. This is what the packaging looked like:




This package contained 4 servings, so we each had about 2 servings of Corn Nuts during the drive. That's 9 grams of fat and a full 25% of our daily sodium requirement.

They are very delicious. My favorite thing about them is that Tomato Powder is one of the ingredients. When you suck on a mouthful of Corn Nuts before biting into the "Ultimate Crunch," you are rewarded with an authentic Tomato Powder flavor, in addition to the other interesting flavors that are going on (Citric Acid and MSG being most prominent).

As you can see from the photos of the one Corn Nut I saved to photograph upon our return home, the detailed enlarged pictures of Corn Nuts on the front of the package are accurate depictions of the product.




A strongly crunchy texture with plenty of grainy crystalline flavor particles adhering to the outside of the Nut. I ate this last one after photographing it.

So if you find yourself in a snacking situation and don't need to stave off hunger for a long period of time, but want to eat something delicious, get some of these Corn Nuts and share them with a loved one.

I'm glad you revealed that you ate the last corn nut after you photographed it, because I was totally wondering that!! That flavor sounds delicious.

Corn nuts always make me think of Heathers. Plain or BQ? BQ!!

I guess chile picante con limon weren't available back then.

What kind of residue did they leave on your fingers? Less than Cheetohs but more than Beer Nutz?
