Garden of Eatin' All Natural Black Bean and Guacamole Tortilla Chips Review

I tried two flavors, Guacamole and Black Beans. They were both good but believe it or not (I sure didn't) the black bean was much better than the guacamole flavor. The true test really is, would I buy it again? I wouldn't buy the guacamole flavor again, but I would definitely buy the black bean one again.

The guacamole flavor did not have a hint of guacamole taste (and surprise surprise, no guacamole in the ingredients either) - but the flavor was still good. The chips were sort of dusted with a spice powder which I think had a lemon juice powder base with a hint of a few other spices (I can't quite make out what). I didn't really like the whole spice powder thing, it tended to leave my fingers too messy. The black bean was really basically regular tortilla chips with a few black beans flakes thrown in somewhere, probably more for a little variety in how the chips look (like regular chips with some black flecks) than for adding any flavor.

These tortilla chips were 100% au natural (no guacamole in the ingredients though), with no preservatives or artificial additives, and it's organic. Only 140 calories per serving (about 9 chips), 6 g of fat, but mostly the good monounsaturated kind, and only 70 mg sodium in the black bean (170 mg in the guacamole). Most chips have around 140 calories per serving, but more saturated fat, sodium, and of course, then there's the preservatives.

These chips were more than twice the price of regular chips, but if you are into organic products and cutting out some of the preservatives in your life, then I think this product might be worth it.
